Comparing yourself to others is a nasty game. It can make you despondent or fill you with pride.

Comparing yourself to yourself is an essential action. It is a form of self-evaluation.

Are you a better Christian than you were a year ago?

Do you know more about Jesus, and have you grown as a disciple compared to five years ago?

Spiritual growth is vital to a life of faith. Looking back and asking comparison questions about yourself is a valuable tool. Day-to-day living can cloud our perspective on what God is doing in our lives. Seeing if you are a better you than you were years ago will help clear the air and ensure our lives are on the right trajectory.
