Someone once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Wise words.
The puppy in this image is looking quite forlorn. The little guy is right. The cat gets to poop in the house . Life isn’t always fair. The truth is... it is rarely fair. Comparison is, indeed, the thief of joy.
To live without making comparisons is freeing... but not easy. It is an intentional act.
"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:16-18
When we focus on the things that are important... and lasting... we find no need to compare. When we look to the Son, things unseen and eternal are far more important than temporary trials. In Him, we gain perspective. There is no need to compare.
Today, I am grateful we need no comparison.
