Better than is a fleeting concept. At any given moment you may better at something or someone but then the second hand ticks and suddenly you're not! Live your life, do your best and don't worry that others think about whether or not you're better at something.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have tried hard not to think than I am better than someone else, but there are times that is difficult to do. That is the time that I pray earnestly to God to help me with such times. I am constantly reminded that I am nothing, without the love of Jesus guiding me. May y’all have a blessed day today and always.
