Have you ever looked at people walking in their purpose and calling and wondered when will it be your turn? They make it look so effortless and easy and here you are struggling to get ‘in the flow’. Comparison sucks the joy out of everything. I know this from experience. I have entertained that little rascal far too often. As a matter of fact, I have been wrestling with that lie not so long ago. I know the truth. I know that comparing myself to others will be counterproductive and totally destructive. However, it’s not always easy to get untangled from it when you’re blinded by the lies that keep telling you you’re not good enough. The only way to get untangled from a lie is to embrace the truth. Embrace Truth Himself. So, that is what I did. I grabbed my journal and I ran to my Father. He said: “On days when you feel like you’re not good enough, may you always remember how much you are loved.” And that’s not all He said. His words poured out like poetry and before I knew it, I was looking at a beautiful poem written in my journal. This is the truth that set me free: “You’re special dear one, not because of what you do, but because this great God is WILD about YOU!” There is nothing else that can break the lie of comparison like knowing the love of the Father. Knowing that He loves us no matter how we perform or how good we are. There is no comparison because our value is not based on what we do. We are loved because we are His. We are valuable because we are loved. We have all been bought at the same price. Beautiful friend, I pray that you will know how much you are loved and adored by your Heavenly Father today. His plans for you are GOOD. You can rest in that truth. Much Love x |
