Could comparing your body image to other women be derailing you from God’s purposes over your life? It is a privilege to bring on my first guest, Heather Creekmore! She is the author of Compared to Who and The Burden of Better. She has the heart to help women be free of comparison and to help them release the burden of it!

In this episode, we talk about all things comparison including what happens to our relationships when we SETTLE with comparing ourselves to other people? Even to our own husbands. Wait what??

We talk about what we OUGHT to seek rather than comparing ourselves to others (I mention Rahab here so listen out for that). And assessing whether we have a "crab" mentality, amongst other goodies for you to bite into!

If you are struggling because you bit the comparison bait just know that you are not alone! I still catch myself falling into that trap. The difference today is that the Holy Spirit has helped me to realize that comparison is simply a decoy from Satan.

If you get anything from this episode I pray that you will grasp this truth: That comparison is something the Enemy uses on us so that we overlook and forget about God’s might, love, and purposes for us here on Earth. PLUS, comparison never brings us closer to Jesus. For that reason, let’s keep pursuing Jesus, ladies!!

Journey with Jesus,

Jaclyn

TODAY’S TASK: Seek the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to help you open up your fist so you can RELEASE the burden of comparison over to Him. Listen out to Him for simple ways to view Him BIGGER than you currently view Him.

• Done with committing to detoxes that only work for a little while and then you’re back to square one
  
  
• You would rather be surrounded by others who center their journey around the leading of the Holy Spirit instead of how you look, etc.
  
  
• Want to take a faith-based approach in your health journey INSTEAD OF what you were taught (by personal trainers, etc.) whose main focus is on what you look like on the outside (outward appearance/aesthetics) and/or their aim is to exclusively help you with performance-based results.
  
  
• Not able to celebrate friends/family special occasions because the foods they serve don’t fit what your diet says you can eat
  
  
• Tired of diets, worldly tips and tricks, counting calories and macros, and not able to enjoy foods you love
  
  
• Want to give attention to spiritual heart matters versus physical matters. Outward appearances are no longer your main priority.
  
  
• Feel spiritually bankrupt when it comes to fitness and food approaches
