Comparison Is a Thief of Joy 🤍
Ecclesiastes 4:4 stopped me in my tracks this week. “Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind.” (NLT) Whew. That's a verse that feels just as relevant today as it did thousands of years ago

Comparison is the thief of Joy
You can't keep asking God for confidence while measuring your journey against everyone else’s. Comparison doesn’t sharpen your calling – it silences it. God never asked you to be ahead of others. He asked you to be faithful to your own assignment. Galatians 6:4 — “Each one should test

It’s so easy to look around and compare our lives to others, especially with social media. It’s crazy how God could have just answered a prayer of ours and then we start looking around to others and what God is doing in their lives and it just zaps the joy out of what God just did in our lives.
