 Why does Jehovah not compare us with others?

JEHOVAH loves variety. This is evident in his amazing creations, including humankind. Each of
us is unique. So Jehovah never compares you with others. He examines your heart, your inner
person. (1 Sam. 16:7) He also takes into account your strengths, weaknesses, and background.
And he does not ask more of you than you can give. We need to imitate Jehovah by seeing
ourselves as he does. Then we will have “a sound mind,” thinking neither too much nor too
little of ourselves.—Rom. 12:3.

2. Why is it not good to compare ourselves with others?

Of course, we may benefit by observing the good example of a faithful brother or sister who
has a productive ministry. (Heb. 13:7) We might then see ways in which we can be more
effective in our own ministry. (Phil. 3:17) But there is a difference between imitating
someone’s good example and using it to assess your value as an individual. Such a comparison
could cause you to feel envious, discouraged, or even unworthy. As we learned in the
preceding article, to compete with others in the congregation would also be spiritually
harmful. So Jehovah lovingly exhorts us: “Let each one examine his own actions, and then he
will have cause for rejoicing in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other
person.”—Gal. 6:4.
