What Jesus Would Say to Moms About Comparison

What’s it to you?

You’ve been on antidepressants for years and the rest of the world seems to live their life blissfully medication-free?

What’s it to you?

Literally everyone you follow on Instagram has a perfectly decorated spotless home and you can’t keep yours clean for more than five minutes?

What’s it to you?

Your friend at church serves her husband and children with a big old smile on her face while you struggle with resentment?

What’s it to you?

“Quit looking around at others and follow me. Look at me. Follow me.”

My beautiful mamas, comparison only serves to steal our energy and our joy and to take our eyes off Jesus Christ and turn them inward on to ourselves.

Let’s not let comparison win. Please join me in telling yourself “what’s it to you?” when thoughts of comparison sneak in. That my dears, is what Jesus would say to you.

I’m so thankful for this word from the Lord that I think I might just get myself a necklace made with those words engraved on it. Because I KNOW I’ll need the reminders. (Hopefully a necklace will do the trick and I won’t actually have to get a tattoo, but I think it’s a possibility.)

Lean on the Lord, Mamas. Let Him provide ALL your needs. And next time you want to look at yourself critically, turn your eyes toward heaven instead.
