My Heart Is On Fire By Doug Apple - A Short Christian Devotional To Open The Scriptures And Make Your Heart Burn Within You!

I’m Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire! (Luke 24:32) How are you doing in life? How do you know? Is it by comparing yourself to others? “I’m doing cruddy because I’m not on a plane to Hawaii like my friends on Facebook.” Comparing ourselves to others is a terrible trap and a waste of time. Either we feel bad because others are doing better, or we can feel proud because we are doing better. But how can you know how you are doing in life if you don’t compare yourself to others? “I guess I’m doing okay. At least I’m not as bad as those people, wow, look at them.” That’s comparison. And then there is comparison’s evil twin: competition. Competition is basically organized comparison. It’s adding standings and prizes and gold medals. “How am I doing in life? Why, I’m the XYZ trophy winner. I’m doing great!” But again, that’s just comparing ourselves to others. Is there a way to know how we are doing in life without comparison? Well, there is provision. How am I providing for myself? Lea
