Have you ever struggled with a terrible case of OCD?
Not obsessive compulsive disorder,
but obsessive comparison disorder?
Do you find yourself obsessively thinking about the differences
between you and him, and you and her, and you and them.
Maybe you notice someone is smarter,
and they can study for the test faster.
Maybe you know someone in gym class who can run way faster than you can,
can jump higher,
can school everyone when you can't.
Have you noticed people who are more intuitive at leadership and business,
people who are more compassionate and better with children?
When we notice those differences in our bodies, in our minds, in our muscles,
in our lives, in our income,
it's hard not to be obsessive and compare ourselves to other people.
So often that leads us to insecurity.
It leads us to envy.
It leads us to jealousy.
It leads us to give up the kind of peace and hope and joy
that the Holy Spirit is so desperately wanting to put into our hearts.
So what's the answer?
How do you not feel insecure when you notice that difference?
Well, the Apostle Paul tells us in one of the most famous chapters
in the Bible about our spiritual gifts and our differences.
Just like we're so happy that our bodies have different parts,
there's fingers and toes and eyes and ears that
not all the parts are the same.
Well, God says that's the way to overcome the insecurity.
Remember that, by God's own design, your perfect loving father,
the Jesus who gave his life on the cross,
is the one who collaborated with the Father and the Holy Spirit
to make you different from that person.
And sure, they have strengths that you don't have.
And they have strengths that you might not ever have.
And you have strengths that they might not ever have.
What matters most is that the God who loves you
designed you just how he wanted to be.
And so sometimes when I notice a difference, I like to say this,
"different parts."
I kinda wish I was good like that
but "different parts."
I kind of wish I could talk like that,
but "different parts."
That's the Holy Spirit's remedy and his answer to the envy and jealousy
that want to take peace and joy from your heart.
So maybe this week when you notice the difference, you could just say those two words,
"different parts."
I'm so honored to be hosting the 'Time of Grace' program with Pastor Mark Jeske this month.
Pastor Jeske is going to take us with Jesus to the upper room
to see the vital and important truths that he taught
his disciples the night before his death.

and be blessed by the message of God's Word,
and especially his incredible grace.

Defoe scores on return as England beat Lithuania - Duration: 1:00.
England took another comfortable step on the road to qualification for next summer's World
Cup in Russia as they eased past Lithuania at Wembley.
Gareth Southgate's first game at Wembley since succeeding Sam Allardyce on a permanent basis
provided few alarms as England remain firmly in control at the top of Group F.
Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe justified his call-up at 34 for a first England appearance
since late 2013 with a typically clinical finish after 21 minutes and a lively performance
that suggested he still has a part to play under Southgate.
And when Southgate needed someone to break Lithuania's stubborn resistance after the
break, substitute Jamie Vardy obliged from close-range in the 66th minute, converting
a subtle touch from Liverpool's Adam Lallana inside the area.
Before kick-off there was a minute's silence inside the stadium for the victims of last
week's London attack.
