Comparison: The Thief of Joy

Have you ever found yourself comparing you and your output to what others are doing in the world?  Ever wondered if life would be easier if you were in someone else's shoes?  What about social media?  Have you ever compared your life to the others that you see?  Why do we do this?  Why isn’t God the first person that we turn when we need to measure where we are in the world, and how much our output is having impact?  Do you understand yourself enough to know that God created us perfectly in his image, and that we are fearfully and wonderfully made this way?  Comparisons are a natural human tendency that are not always inherently bad because they can enable growth, and serve as powerful motivators as we navigate life. Come with me, as I dissect how comparison can be a thief of joy and some healthy ways to redirect our minds to combat falling into this trap.
