What Am I To Do?

From John Piper, on the folly of comparing ourselves to others:
Jesus will not judge me according to my superiority or inferiority over anybody. No preacher. No church. No ministry. These are not the standard. Jesus has a work for me to do (and a different one for you). It is not what he has given anyone else to do. There is a grace to do it. Will I trust him for that grace and do what he has given me to do? That is the question.

Thanks for posting this. It really spoke to me today ... something I always need to remind myself.

Like brother Doug, this encouraged my wife and I after preaching (wife translating) at church today. We needed it too!
