Don't compare yourself with others. Your life is not theirs. Your faith is not their faith. Your faith is what He has given you, and what He builds in you. Look to Him and trust Him to bring about all in your life that He desires. If you reach to be “perfect even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect”, you will discover a sacrifice of heart that builds your character.
Always assess your character.
Honestly look at yourself and how you live your faith. Look at how your life
impacts others, and what it says about you. Pray about your relationships,
family, friends, and all those who are in your life. When He reveals something
you didn't handle well, pray about how you might have handled it better. Pray
about how such mistakes can be avoided. If you have absolutely failed, ask for
forgiveness and move on. Don't freeze out of fear of failing again. Be honest
with Him and with yourself. He loves honest repentance, and forgives. Allow Him
to develop you.
Keep Him close. If you do, He is
always as close as your next breath. He is always your helper in your darkest
moment. He leads your through circumstances that overwhelm. He brings you from
your weakness to His strength and power, from danger to His protection, from
poverty to supply, from doubt to faith. Don't ever forget He has saved you from
sin, and brought you His love, peace, and joy. Don't allow any circumstance or
failure to destroy His life in you. Turn it around for His glory. Allow it to
make His life stronger in you.
Just like a photo negative that
is developed, allow His to develop you into His perfect picture.
