When staring at everyone's else's journey, you're bound to stumble on the road. Many times other people's lives appear happier, richer, fuller, maybe even more sanctified by God. When envy settles in, you tend to lose your grateful heart. You lose your way. And Satan is right there escorting you off the path and into a journey you were never meant to take- a fearsome passage you were never meant to walk. One without joy, laughter, hope, or- peace. Comparison can mean a slow death of the spirit. The moment you catch yourself with the-grass-is-always- greener mentality, know that it will only lead you astray. So, stay prayerfully focused on God and His way for you. Then the peace that passes all understanding will not be a distant mirage, but authentic, and yours.
