Love Worth Finding

Breaking Free From the Comparison Trap

“And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6

Have you ever noticed that we buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t even like? We try “keeping up with the Joneses,” but when we finally catch up with them, they refinance!

Let me exhort you to get off that comparison treadmill and onto the pathway of serenity.

You are accepted right now in Christ. God does not change you so He can love you. He loves you so He can change you!

God loves you as much as He loves Jesus. If you are saved, you are in Christ. And where is He? He is seated in the heavenlies. You are also seated in those heavenly places, even though you still have your address here on planet Earth. You are enthroned with Him.

When was the last time you compared yourself with someone else? It’s time to get yourself unharnessed from the comparison yoke and break free as a child of the King!

Stayed sick for a long time because I compared instead of identifying. It took me a long time to find the room, and even then, I looked at people and said, "Well I didn't do what they did," with no thought of looking at what I did do.

If I wasn't and alcoholic/addict, what was I? Didn't want to think about that either.
