Comparison and jealousy can be something we all struggle with, especially in this age of social media. Teddy Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Proverbs 27:4 says, “Anger is cruel, and wrath is like a flood, but jealousy is even more dangerous.”

Sometimes we can look at the success of others and wonder why we aren’t experiencing the same thing. We don’t see all the details behind the scenes that enabled others to experience that success. We also wonder if there’s really enough success to go around, leading to a scarcity mentality.

We look forward to opening up this needed conversation on a topic many of us have dealt with or are currently dealing with.

This episode’s Godly affirmation:

“I keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and the unique things He does through me.”

Hebrews 12:2a TPT – “We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection.”
