2 Corinthians 12:9-11

Don’t do it.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

It’s so easy (especially as women) to compare ourselves to others. Accomplishments, looks, relationships, personalities, dreams…you name it, you can rank yourself in it.

And the ranking is never very high.

Find your identity in Christ. Remember that His standard is the only one we are called to and even then He extends us grace. Isn’t that beautiful? Easier said than done, I know. But you’ve got to try.

Remember whose you are.
