When we put unrealistic expectations on ourselves the result is usually guilt. These unrealistic expectations often come in because we are playing the comparison game with those around us. Instead of being weighed down and immobilized because of imposed guilt, God is calling us each to run the race He has set before us, with hearts free from the weight of guilt and shame. By looking to Him, and not the standards of the world, we can run that race!
