Comparison is a thief of joy,
when ignorant of how Jesus sees you.
You incline to believe the devil, who
brings pain, lie about lack and death.
🔥 But many who are the greatest now
will be least important then,
and those who seem least important now
will be the greatest then. Matthew 19:30

Comparison IS NOT a thief of joy.
When you compare others with yourself,
one that usually brings
you down to earth; humility.
🔥 Don’t be selfish;
don’t try to impress others.Be humble,
thinking of others
as better than yourselves.
Don’t look out only
for your own interests,
but take an interest
in others, too. Philippians 2:3-4

Comparison IS NOT a thief of joy.
When you compare others with yourself,
one that usually brings
clarity & sets you apart from others.
God differentiates His children
from the children of the world,
the righteous from the unrighteous,
the holy from the unholy ones.
🔥 You can be sure of this:
The Lord set apart the Godly for Himself.
The Lord will answer when I call to Him.
Psalm 4:3

Comparison has different connotations.
So, get the context right.
Therefore, comparison is a thief of joy,
but it is not universal.
The truth is,
🔥 the Word of God is,
ALIVE and powerful.
Heb 4:12.
Meaning, the Word is not
dogmatic but pragmatic.
So, do not be religious or legalistic,
they murdered God.
The Word of God is LIVING.
LIFE is found,
in whatever situation & wherever,
the Word is spoken, written & released.
You can almost hear the Word breathes.
An understatement,
or an exaggeration? To some,
they believe, eat and live out the Word.
– Charles KW TAN –
Dear God,
Grant me the wisdom to discern
and distance myself from the
comparison that kills, steals, & destroys
but leverage on the ones
that give a rich & satisfying life.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
