Verse from John

耶稣回答他：“如果我要他活到我来的时候，跟你有甚么关系呢？你只管跟从我吧！”(约翰福音 21:22)

Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” (John 21:22)

Social media is useful for many things, but contentment is not one of them. Sometimes we use it to compare achievements when there is no need to do so. What we need to accomplish tasks is already provided by Him. He knows exactly what we need. We just need to learn to be content with what we have. 

Jesus and Peter had a conversation that got around to this subject. After making breakfast on the shore of Galilee, Jesus told Peter what would happen at the end of his life. Pointing at another disciple, Peter asked, “What about him?” Jesus responded, “What is that to you?”

That is the question we need to ask ourselves when we compare ourselves to others. The answer is, “None of our business.” Our business is to follow Jesus and be faithful with the gifts and opportunities He gives to us.

Resentment comes from looking at others; contentment comes from looking at God.
