In a world where we’re constantly exposed to how ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต everyone else is doing and all the shiny, new things they’ve been buying, it’s hard to not have a longing deep down for our own lives to look that way as well.
But it’s in these moments that ๐๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐๐๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐.

Often times, all we see on social media is the highlight reel.
So next time you see someone getting things you thought you might have at this time in your life – whether that be the home and vacations, or a career or the opportunity to stay home with their kids and raise them, or a million other things – remind yourself that even if you have those things, you may still not be fully satisfied.
And chances are.. the ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด aren’t what you’re actually longing for.

That thief is Satan, and in today’s world, he wants to steal our joy by causing us to focus on what others have rather than what we have and how blessed we already are.
And what better way for him to do that than the convenience of scrolling?

Today, I challenge you to not compare yourself to someone else. [๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ข๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ, ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ!] But you can do it. I know you can.
