Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media on New Year’s Day, each highlight reel feeling like a gentle reminder of what you haven’t achieved? There you are, still in your pajamas, coffee in hand, while your screen fills with friends’ ambitious workout routines, spotless home organization projects, and carefully crafted vision boards for 2025.
You’re not alone. According to recent studies, over 80% of social media users report feeling increased pressure to measure up to others’ achievements, particularly during milestone moments like the New Year. This comparison trap isn’t just a modern phenomenon – it’s a timeless struggle that can quietly steal our joy and distract us from God’s unique purpose for our lives.
But what if this year could be different?
What if, instead of measuring our lives against others’ highlight reels, we could discover the freedom that comes from embracing God’s individual plan for us? The peace that flows from genuine gratitude? The joy that emerges when we stop competing and start celebrating our own journey?
In this guide, we’ll explore how faith, gratitude, and contentment can transform our perspective and break free from the comparison trap. Drawing wisdom from biblical examples and practical strategies, we’ll discover how to:
- Recognize and embrace God’s unique plan for our lives
- Cultivate genuine gratitude that transcends circumstances
- Find lasting contentment in Christ, not in comparisons
- Trust in God’s faithful provision
- Genuinely celebrate others’ successes without diminishing our own journey
As we step into 2025, let’s explore how to replace the exhausting cycle of comparison with the refreshing practice of contentment and gratitude. Your journey is uniquely yours – and that’s exactly how God designed it to be.
Recognizing God’s Unique Plan for Your Life: Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap
Picture this: The armies of Israel are returning from battle, victory songs filling the air. But amid the celebration, a shadow crosses King Saul’s face as he hears the women singing, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands” (1 Samuel 18:7 NIV). The Bible tells us “Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. ‘They have credited David with tens of thousands,’ he thought, ‘but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?’” (1 Samuel 18:8 NIV).
In this pivotal moment, comparison consumed Saul’s heart. The Scripture continues, “And from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David” (1 Samuel 18:9 NIV). This jealousy led Saul down a destructive path – attempting to kill David multiple times, pursuing him through the wilderness, and ultimately turning away from God’s purpose for his own life.
But what if Saul had remembered that God had specifically chosen him? That the Lord had transformed him, giving him “another heart” (1 Samuel 10:9 NIV) when he was anointed as king? His tragedy serves as a powerful reminder of how comparison can blind us to God’s specific calling on our lives.
This ancient narrative intersects powerfully with our modern struggles. Like Saul, we often fall into the trap of measuring our journey against others’ paths. We scroll through social media, attend family gatherings, or walk into church, and suddenly find ourselves questioning whether we measure up.
Yet Scripture reminds us of a transformative truth: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10 NIV). The word “handiwork” here translates the Greek word “poiema” – we are God’s masterpiece, His poem, carefully crafted with purpose and intention.
This isn’t just encouraging rhetoric – it’s a foundational truth. Your path doesn’t need to mirror anyone else’s because God has “planned in advance” your good works. The talents He has given you, the opportunities He’s placed before you, and even the challenges He’s allowed in your life are all part of His distinct plan for your life.
Practical Steps to Embrace Your Unique Purpose:
- Take a Pause
Set aside quiet time to reflect on your calling, following David’s example of seeking God’s guidance in every step (1 Samuel 23:2, 4 NIV). - Document Your Journey
In a dedicated journal, write down:- Specific ways you’ve seen God’s faithfulness in your life
- The spiritual gifts God has given you (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NIV)
- Times when you’ve clearly seen God’s guidance
- Create a Purpose Statement
Based on your reflection and prayer, write a simple statement that captures how your unique gifts might serve God’s kingdom, remembering that “each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others” (1 Peter 4:10 NIV).
Remember, comparison isn’t just about coveting others’ gifts – it’s about questioning God’s wisdom in how He made you. As Paul reminds us, “But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be” (1 Corinthians 12:18 NIV).
When we trust His unique plan for our lives, we free ourselves to fully invest in our own journey rather than watching others from the sidelines. Just as David fulfilled his purpose not by trying to be like Saul but by being “a man after [God’s] own heart” (Acts 13:22 NIV), your greatest impact will come from embracing who God created you to be.
Reflection Question: In what areas of your life might you be missing God’s purpose by focusing on comparing yourself to others? Take time to pray about these areas, asking God to help you see His unique plan for your life.
Shift Your Focus to Gratitude: Finding Joy in Every Circumstance
On the border between Samaria and Galilee, a powerful story unfolds that teaches us about the transformative power of gratitude. Ten men, all suffering from leprosy – a disease that had relegated them to the margins of society – encountered Jesus. “When he saw them, he said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed” (Luke 17:14 NIV).
All ten men were healed, but what happens next reveals a profound truth about gratitude. “One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan” (Luke 17:15-16 NIV).
Jesus’ response is telling: “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well” (Luke 17:17-19 NIV). The Greek word used here for “well” (sozo) implies something deeper than physical healing – it suggests wholeness, salvation, and complete restoration.
This story illuminates a powerful truth: while all ten lepers received physical healing, only the grateful one experienced complete transformation. His gratitude led to a deeper encounter with Jesus and an additional blessing of spiritual wholeness.
In our own lives, we often focus on what we lack rather than what we have – much like the nine who received healing but missed the greater blessing of relationship with the Healer. We scroll through social media, seeing others’ achievements and blessings, and forget to notice our own.
Scripture calls us to a different way: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV). Notice it doesn’t say “for” all circumstances, but “in” all circumstances. This subtle distinction reminds us that gratitude isn’t dependent on our situation but on our recognition of God’s faithful presence in every season.
The Practice of Biblical Gratitude:
1. Start with Recognition
Just as the Samaritan leper stopped in his tracks to acknowledge his healing, we need to develop eyes that see God’s handiwork in our daily lives. This means pausing throughout our day – maybe when we first wake up, during our lunch break, or as we drive home – to notice God’s fingerprints in our lives. Think about the sunrise that painted the sky this morning, the friend who texted just when you needed encouragement, or even the fact that you’re breathing without effort. Remember, James 1:17 reminds us that “every good gift comes from above“. When we truly believe this, even traffic jams become opportunities to notice God’s presence, teaching us patience or giving us unexpected quiet time with Him.
2. Express Your Thanks
Gratitude isn’t meant to be a silent practice. The Psalmist calls us to “enter God’s gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise” (Psalm 100:4 NIV) – it’s our spiritual welcome mat! Start your prayers with thanksgiving before diving into requests. Share your gratitude out loud, whether it’s telling your spouse about God’s provision or posting about answered prayers on social media. When we verbalize our thankfulness, it becomes contagious. How often has someone else’s testimony of God’s faithfulness strengthened your own faith? Your grateful heart might be exactly what someone else needs to hear today.
3. Cultivate Gratitude Daily
This isn’t about forcing positivity – it’s about training our hearts to notice God’s faithfulness. Start a gratitude journal, but make it specific and personal. Instead of writing “I’m thankful for my family,” dig deeper: “Today, Mom sent me our old family photos, reminding me of God’s faithfulness through generations.” Look for God’s character in action. Maybe you saw His patience in your child’s teacher or His creativity in a colleague’s problem-solving. Notice the “ordinary” gifts that aren’t ordinary at all – the hot shower that refreshed you, the coffee that helped you start your day, the technology that lets you connect with loved ones far away.
4. Transform Your Perspective
When comparison creeps in (and it will), let it be your trigger to redirect your thoughts to gratitude. Philippians 4:8 gives us a practical filter for our thoughts – true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, praiseworthy. When you catch yourself scrolling through social media feeling less-than, pause and ask: “What truth about God’s goodness can I focus on right now?” Maybe your friend’s new house makes you feel inadequate – let that prompt you to thank God for the memories you’ve made in your current home. Your coworker’s promotion can become a reminder to thank God for your own unique path and purpose.
Remember, practicing gratitude isn’t about denying reality or suppressing difficult emotions. Instead, it’s about widening our perspective to include God’s constant presence and provision, even in challenging seasons. Just as the Samaritan leper’s gratitude led to a deeper healing, our choice to give thanks can transform our relationship with God and our experience of daily life.
When comparison threatens to steal your joy, turn to your gratitude journal as a reminder of God’s faithful provision in your life.
Reflection Question: What blessings might you be overlooking today because you’re focused on what others have instead of what God has given you?
Finding Contentment in Christ: The Secret of Lasting Peace
Picture Paul, writing from a Roman prison cell – not exactly where most of us would expect to find a lesson on contentment. Yet from these confining walls emerges one of Scripture’s most powerful teachings on finding satisfaction in Christ alone.
“I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:10-11 NIV).
Consider this moment: A man in chains, likely facing execution, declares himself content. Not just tolerating his circumstances, but genuinely content. Paul continues, “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:12-13 NIV).
Notice the word “learned” – contentment didn’t come naturally to Paul, just as it doesn’t come naturally to us. It was a journey of discovery, a spiritual discipline developed through both abundance and scarcity. His secret? Finding his strength and identity in Christ rather than his circumstances.
The Power of Christ-Centered Contentment:
- Understanding True Contentment
Contentment isn’t about having everything you want – it’s about wanting what God has already given you. Paul wasn’t writing from a luxury resort but from a prison cell. His contentment wasn’t based on comfort but on Christ’s presence. “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it” (1 Timothy 6:6-7 NIV). - Breaking Free from the Comparison Trap
When we anchor our satisfaction in Christ, others’ successes don’t diminish our joy. Paul could celebrate other preachers’ success even while imprisoned because his identity wasn’t in his ministry but in Christ. “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ” (Philippians 1:27 NIV). - Finding Strength in Christ
Notice that Paul doesn’t say, “I can do all this through my positive attitude” or “through my resilient personality.” His strength comes from Christ alone. This isn’t just about surviving difficult circumstances – it’s about thriving through Christ’s power, regardless of external conditions.
Practical Steps to Cultivate Contentment:
- Daily Surrender
Let’s start with the basics – every morning, before your feet hit the floor or you reach for your phone, take a breath and acknowledge that your strength comes from Christ, not your circumstances. It’s like setting your GPS for the day – when you surrender your expectations to God first thing, you’re less likely to get lost in comparison later. Remember, true contentment isn’t about having everything you want; it’s about recognizing that in Christ, you already have everything you need. - Mind Your Mindset
Take a good look at what triggers your comparison monster – maybe it’s scrolling through social media, family gatherings, or work meetings. Once you spot these triggers, you can be ready for them. Instead of letting complaints take root, try flipping the script. When you catch yourself thinking “They have it better,” replace it with a specific example of God’s faithfulness in your life. It’s like training your brain to look for treasure instead of trash. - Memorize and Meditate
Think of Scripture like your spiritual emergency kit – you want it ready before you need it. Pick one verse that really speaks to your heart. Maybe it’s the reminder in Hebrews 13:5 that God will never leave you, or the simple truth of Psalm 23:1 that with God as your shepherd, you lack nothing. When comparison starts whispering lies, these verses become your truth speakers. Keep them on your phone, write them on your mirror, or stick them on your dashboard – anywhere you’ll see them when you need them most. - Practice Presence
This isn’t about adding another task to your to-do list – it’s about finding pockets of quiet in your everyday routine. Maybe it’s during your morning coffee, your commute, or even while folding laundry. Use these moments to simply be with God, like you would with a close friend. No agenda, no shopping list of requests – just being present. Remember, your value doesn’t come from what you do or have; it comes from whose you are – a beloved child of God. Let that truth sink deep into your heart during these quiet moments.
Remember, contentment in Christ doesn’t mean we never desire growth or improvement. Rather, it means we pursue growth from a place of security in Christ rather than from a place of insecurity or comparison. Like Paul, we can learn to be content while still pressing forward toward God’s calling on our lives.
Reflection Questions: What circumstances currently challenge your contentment? How might focusing on Christ’s strength rather than your own change your perspective? What would it look like to pursue your goals from a place of contentment rather than comparison?
Remembering God’s Provision: Learning from the Daily Manna
Imagine waking up each morning to find your breakfast literally on the ground – this was the reality for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. “The LORD said to Moses, ‘I will rain down bread from heaven for you‘” (Exodus 16:4 NIV). Every morning, except the Sabbath, the Israelites would wake to find manna covering the ground like frost.
This wasn’t just about food; it was a daily lesson in trust. “The Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed” (Exodus 16:17-18 NIV).
The fascinating part? When some tried to hoard extra for the next day, “it was full of maggots and began to smell” (Exodus 16:20 NIV). Through this daily provision, God wasn’t just feeding His people – He was teaching them to trust His timing, sufficiency, and faithful care.
Understanding God’s Pattern of Provision:
1. Daily Dependency
God could have provided a month’s worth of manna at once, but He chose to give it daily. Why? Because He wanted His people to develop daily trust in Him. Just as Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us today our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11 NIV), God wants us to look to Him for our daily needs rather than trusting in our own stockpiles.
2. Perfect Portions
Notice how God provided exactly what each person needed – no more, no less. Some gathered more, some less, yet all had enough. This teaches us that God’s provision isn’t about equality (everyone getting the same) but about equity (everyone getting what they need). “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19 NIV).
3. Future Faith
The manna story challenges our modern obsession with security through accumulation. While good stewardship is biblical, anxious hoarding reveals our struggle to trust God’s future provision. Jesus reminds us, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34 NIV).
Practical Steps to Trust God’s Provision:
1. Document Divine Provision
Think of this as creating your own personal history with God. You know how easy it is to forget the amazing ways He’s worked in our lives? Start a “Provision Journal” – not just another notebook, but a living testament to God’s faithfulness. Write down everything: that unexpected check that arrived just when the bills were due, the friend who called exactly when you needed encouragement, even those times when God’s “no” protected you from what you thought you wanted. Include those “coincidences” (which we know aren’t really coincidences at all!) that show God’s hand in your life. When you’re feeling doubtful, flip through these pages and remind yourself: “Look how God came through before. He’ll do it again.”
2. Practice Present Trust
This is about learning to live with open hands and an expectant heart. Start your mornings acknowledging, “God, I need you today.” Before rushing into your prayer requests, take time to thank Him for what He’s already doing. Train your eyes to spot God’s provision in unexpected places – maybe it’s not the miracle you were looking for, but something even better. Remember that time when you prayed for a promotion but God gave you a new career path instead? His provision often looks different than our plans, but it’s always better than what we could have imagined.
3. Plan Without Anxiety
Let’s be real – finding the balance between wise planning and trusting God can be tricky. We’re not called to live recklessly or without forethought, but we also shouldn’t grip our plans so tightly that we strangle them. When making decisions, ask yourself: “Am I planning from a place of trust or fear?” If anxiety is driving your decisions, that’s a red flag. Remember Solomon’s wisdom about trusting God rather than our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5) – it’s not just a nice verse for your wall, it’s a daily choice to hold your plans loosely and let God direct your steps.
4. Share Your Abundance
Here’s a beautiful paradox: the more we give, the more we experience God’s provision. Just like the Israelites couldn’t hoard manna (it would spoil!), we’re meant to be channels, not reservoirs, of God’s blessings. This isn’t just about money – it could be sharing your time, your skills, your encouragement. Maybe it’s babysitting for a stressed-out mom, mentoring a younger colleague, or simply being a listening ear. When we open our hands to give, we create space to receive more of God’s provision.
5. Breaking Free from Comparison
When you catch yourself playing the comparison game (we all do it!), remember this: God’s provision in your life is as unique as your fingerprint. His timing? Perfect – even when it doesn’t match your preferred schedule. His provision? Personal – tailored specifically for your journey, not someone else’s highlight reel. Your story? Unique – God’s writing a special narrative through your life that doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. And His faithfulness? That’s your guarantee, your anchor point when everything else feels uncertain.
Think of these practices not as a rigid checklist but as gentle habits that help us recognize and rest in God’s faithful provision. They’re about training our hearts to trust and our eyes to see the countless ways God is caring for us, even when life looks different than we expected.
Remember, God’s provision isn’t just about material needs. He provides wisdom, strength, peace, and everything else we need for life and godliness. As Peter reminds us, “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness” (2 Peter 1:3 NIV).
Reflection Questions: How has God provided for you in unexpected ways recently? What areas of your life do you struggle to trust God’s provision? How might remembering God’s past faithfulness help you trust Him for future needs?
Rejoicing in Others’ Success: Finding Freedom in Celebration
In the courts of ancient Israel, an extraordinary friendship unfolded that teaches us powerful lessons about genuine celebration of others’ success. Jonathan, the king’s son and rightful heir to the throne, chose to rejoice in David’s success – even though it meant his own position would be diminished.
“And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself” (1 Samuel 20:17 NIV). This wasn’t just political alliance; it was genuine love that celebrated another’s success. When David succeeded, Jonathan didn’t see a threat – he saw God’s plan unfolding.
Consider the weight of this choice: Jonathan was the crown prince, yet he stripped off his own robe and gave it to David, along with his tunic, sword, bow, and belt (1 Samuel 18:4 NIV). These weren’t just gifts – they were symbols of his position and power. Through this act, Jonathan demonstrated a profound truth: when we’re secure in God’s love, we can celebrate others without feeling diminished.
The Art of Genuine Celebration
1. Understanding God’s Economy
In God’s kingdom, another’s gain doesn’t mean our loss. Unlike earthly kingdoms with limited thrones, God’s blessings aren’t finite. Scripture calls us to “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15 NIV). Notice there’s no caveat – no “unless they got the promotion you wanted” or “unless their marriage looks perfect while yours struggles.”
2. Cultivating Genuine Joy
True celebration goes beyond polite congratulations. Like Jonathan, we’re called to actively support and encourage others’ success. This might mean:
- Promoting a colleague’s achievement
- Genuinely celebrating a friend’s milestone
- Supporting someone who received the opportunity you desired
- Praying for others’ continued success
3. Guarding Your Heart
Being genuinely happy for others doesn’t mean ignoring your own feelings. It’s okay to process disappointment or grief privately while still choosing to celebrate publicly. Take these emotions to God, just as David consistently did in the Psalms.
Practical Steps for Celebrating Others:
1. Practice Active Celebration
Let’s move beyond the quick “congratulations” text and really show up for people. Think about it – when was the last time someone’s genuine excitement for your success made your day? Be that person for others. Instead of a simple “congrats,” share what specifically inspires you about their achievement. Maybe it’s commenting, “I saw how hard you worked for this promotion – your dedication is inspiring!” or offering practical support like bringing a meal to a friend who just had a baby. Share their good news with others (with permission, of course!), and look for tangible ways to support their success. Sometimes it’s as simple as showing up to their book launch or watching their kids so they can attend an important meeting.
2. Pray for Perspective
This is where the real heart transformation happens. When you’re struggling to celebrate others, take it to God first. Ask Him to help you see the situation through His eyes – there’s usually a bigger picture we’re missing. Thank Him specifically for how He’s working in others’ lives, even if it’s different from how He’s working in yours. Here’s a challenging one: pray blessings over the person who got the opportunity you wanted. Ask God to show you how their success might actually benefit your community or church in ways you hadn’t considered. Often, when we start praying for others’ success, our own hearts begin to shift.
3. Focus on Kingdom Impact
Think of the body of Christ like a team sport – when one player scores, the whole team wins! Every time someone in the body of Christ succeeds, it’s a win for God’s kingdom. When your friend starts a successful ministry, more people hear about Jesus. When your colleague gets promoted, they have more influence to be salt and light in their workplace. When another church in town is thriving, more people are being reached with the Gospel. As Paul says, “If one part is honored, every part rejoices with it” (1 Corinthians 12:26 NIV). Their success isn’t taking anything away from you – it’s expanding God’s kingdom in ways that ultimately benefit everyone.
4. Combat Comparison with Truth
When those comparison thoughts start creeping in (you know the ones – “Why them and not me?”), it’s time to counter them with truth. Remind yourself that God’s plan for your life is as unique as your fingerprint. Instead of watching someone else’s highlight reel, focus on your own growth story. Where were you a year ago? What has God been teaching you? Thank Him for His faithfulness in your journey – the closed doors that protected you, the open ones that surprised you. Celebrate the beautiful diversity in the body of Christ – we can’t all be hands or feet or eyes; we need each unique gift and calling to function as a whole body.
The goal isn’t to force yourself to feel happy when you’re not, but to develop a genuine heart that can celebrate others’ wins while trusting God’s timing for your own story. Remember Jonathan – his joy in David’s success came from a deep security in God’s love and plan for his own life.
Reflection Questions: How do you typically respond to others’ success? What makes it difficult for you to genuinely celebrate with others?
How might viewing success through God’s eyes change your perspective?
Breaking Free from Comparison: Embracing Your Unique Journey
As we stand at the threshold of a new year, let’s remember comparison isn’t just a modern social media struggle – it’s a timeless challenge that even biblical heroes faced. Yet through their stories and God’s Word, we’ve discovered powerful truths that can transform our perspective.
We’ve learned from David and Saul that God’s plan for each of us is uniquely crafted. Like the grateful Samaritan leper, we’ve seen how cultivating gratitude can lead to deeper blessings than we initially sought. Through Paul’s prison letters, we’ve glimpsed the secret of finding contentment in Christ alone, regardless of our circumstances. The Israelites’ daily manna reminded us to trust God’s faithful provision rather than anxiously hoarding or comparing. And in Jonathan’s friendship with David, we witnessed the freedom that comes from genuinely celebrating others’ success.
But knowing these truths isn’t enough – we must put them into practice. As the writer of Hebrews encourages us, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV).
Notice that phrase – “the race marked out for us.” Your path is uniquely yours, designed by God specifically for you. When we fix our eyes on Jesus rather than looking around at others’ races, we find the strength and purpose to run our own course well.
Your Challenge for the Year:
Take a moment now to reflect. Where has comparison caused the most discontentment in your life? Is it in your career? Your relationships? Your spiritual journey? Your social media presence? Identify that area and write it down.
Now, commit to making this the year you replace comparison with: Gratitude for God’s unique work in your life. Contentment founded in Christ’s sufficiency. Trust in God’s faithful provision. Joy in celebrating others’ success
Remember, this isn’t about mustering up more willpower or forcing positive thinking. It’s about fixing your eyes on Jesus and allowing His perspective to transform your view of your own journey and others’ successes.
Prayer
Lord, help me to see myself and others through Your eyes. Give me a heart of gratitude that can celebrate Your unique work in my life. When comparison tempts me, redirect my gaze to Jesus. Make this a year of freedom from comparison as I learn to trust Your perfect plan for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Your journey matters. Your story is significant. And your race, run faithfully with eyes fixed on Jesus, brings glory to God in a way that no one else’s can.
What one step will you take today to begin breaking free from comparison?
