Comparison the Killer

Like a thief in the night it comes. So sneaky and deceptive you don't recognize who it is until its too late. Comparison is a killer though. It will kill all the joy, all the love, all the happiness right out of your life.

I too often compare myswlf with others. How I look, what I wear, how expensive my electronics are, their social lives, how many friends they have, etc. The list goes on for miles, my friends.

But its killing me.

Because I can't get away from the thoughts that say, "If only we had that... If only we could hangout with those people or get that grade... Then I would be happy."

Ugh I hate that!

Deep down in my soul I know I am fulfilled and loved and good enough. But my flesh still cries for more!

The antidote for comparison is thankfulness. So I am going to start being more thankful starting now. I know Jesus is with me and he is going to help me to do this because I know I can't do this on my own. Sigh. I can use prayer though because this is hard. Haha but Jesus is with me so I don't need to fear.
