Building Healthy Families: Are you ever tempted to dwell on the thought that some people are more gifted (or talented, or creative, or beautiful, or smart, or successful, or athletic…) than you are? Eleanor Roosevelt once famously said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Child, stop comparing yourself critically to others and remember instead who you are, because of Whose you are: But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12) Let each temptation to think otherwise remind you of this verse and the truth it boldly proclaims! Lutheran Family Service www.LutheranFamilyService.org
