    God spoke to me about going offline i'd end up looking through people's pages without even realizing i was comparing until the Holy Spirit is like, what are you doing? thank you so much, this video is very spirit led. comparison has been a big deal of my daily living and God is just speaking through this video..

      im not there yet, but there are moments in my day when my spiritman will just confirm through peace, but i am still learning to hear God's voice clearly..

      but on going offline the urge just died down and i knew this was the work of God but basically mine was staying off social media completely :)

    Great video we have to be careful not to be distracted by other people’s lives. I admire successful people but found myself admiring others so much volunteering etc that I was not pouring much into myself. Comparison is the thief of joy and with social media especially Instagram have to be careful not to waste valuable time scrolling instead of being productive.

    I needed this at this very MOMENT! I have been on Instagram all week comparing my life and journey with what I see. I repent from the sin of comparison and will embrace who God has made me to be. I will live my life bringing glory to him by being grateful and fulfilling HIS purpose for MY life! Thanks for your transparency! God’s best to you!!

    My soul sister right here! Feels like I experienced it how u did. I used to feel so bad cos I thought it was an age thing, like on getting to a certain age, I shouldn't be struggling with certain things but it's calming to know that anyone, no matter how old can stumble. Comparison will kill your self esteem, leave you feeling like your portion is "below the standard"and cause you to idolize/worship the idea of having something......it destroys relationships too! I pray anyone struggling with this quickly understands why they shouldn't compare themselves to anyone.....and completely rises above comparison. Another thing that has helped me in my walk overcoming comparison is constantly reminding myself that whatever I accomplish or any good thing that happens to me is not for ME...it's not for me to oh just feel good about myself.....but sincerely for the glory of God.....that helps to humble me

    I used to compare myself to a girl in my hostel.. This went on for yrs and this really robbed me of my joy, I felt so inferior for so long. God taught me to love her instead with the love of Christ and like you said pray for her. I bless God I'm free. I've been so blessed by your videos and all my friends know that you're my fav youTuber 💕💞. God bless you and your family!

    Comparison is very annoying. I think many of us deal with this at varying degrees in life, whether it be with people abroad, or those in our own household. It is very draining and it’s painful and devastating when you have to honestly admit to yourself that you’ve been operating out of jealousy 😣😖😔
    What is going on for others has nothing to do with us. It’s not our time, season, or even destiny to have what others have. We do need to run our own race and keep our eyes on the end goal of this life journey. Thank you for your vulnerability and generosity in sharing your experience with this very toxic behavior. 😊😘

    I am so grateful to God for bringing me to this video. For such a long time I have struggled with comparison; of my family (and seeing others with their families), of my friends and what they’re doing, and of people online. I’ve had such a love/hate relationship with social media and I guess that’s what the Lord was trying to highlight for me. I never realized that it could be linked to pride, nor did I realize it could be connected to not fully knowing my identity in Christ. Thank you for following the leading of the Holy Spirit with this video! Lord I repent even now 🤲🏾😩

  • @myka8712

    Thank you for this video! I'll keep playing it when I need it. I know this isnt going to be an overnight fix. I struggled with insecurity and jealousy for the longest of time. Since I was a kid until now being 22. However, things intensified and my heart and thoughts became even more destructive because the guy I liked liked another girl. I got pregnant but everything was all not real, his heart was for the other girl. I was trapped in feeling completely horrible about my self and constantly hating how I look and how I am compared to this particular girl. Many people would say that she is in fact a very physically attractive beautiful girl, and has a nice figure. She can rock a nice dress and makeup along with a pretty face and all in all she is also very nice. Just like him she too was also Mexican. Upon this whole situation I got my self involved in I felt like my life and my existence of being me was useless and I hated God for making me and thinking he could have made me better. One of those really bad insecurities of mine is being Filipino, being an Asian. Growing up and even till now I was mad and frustrated why I had to be born Asian when so many people that God created are Caucasian, European, Hispanic, etc. I would always get hurt because I would think how this girl has a pointed nose, light skin, pitch dark hair, just in my eyes overall perfection and she is nonAsian and most of all liked by him, and how I think to myself I am Filipino, just a regular Asian with flat nose, small eyes, chubby cheeks, and flat round face. I wanted to be okay but then it became a full blown hatred over God in why I felt he made me ugly and Asian and how he made his other daughters beautiful and appreciated. How I wouldve wanted to be born in a different life not being Asian and experience what it is to feel pretty and to be seen like this particular girl. I was hurting and it came to a point where it wasnt just her now but wherever I go whenever I encounter someone whose pretty and nonasian. I pray and I also ask brothers and sisters that you guys pray for me in this journey and that my sin and pride will be done and over with, its not easy but me soon becoming a single mom I want to put love and positivity on my self, my surrounding, and most importantly my son. Please do leave a comment, an advice, or just anything itll really help me by a ton. Much love!

    I agree on the points you made. Comparison is not good at all but we've all struggled with it in some way. There's beauty in loving who we are and where we are in life. God is always teaching us things in every season. I love that parable too. P.S. I love your hair/makeup look.

Please allow God to continue to use you. I can't even express in words how this has blessed me. He has showed me myself in this video😢🙌🏾🙌🏾❤. Thank's again

  • @caramelmommy1765
    @caramelmommy1765 6 лет назад +3

    Thanks for this video. Lately I have been dealing with a "friend" trying to compete with me and was envious of me. In return when I realized it I cut the friendship off then realized that all my goals I disclosed to her she obtained even before me! So I have been feeling a way about that, and am now wanting her to do bad! Which isn't me! The way she deeply felt about me ...I am starting to feel about her. So I have been praying to GOD to clean my heart... this is not me, I'm not that girl. I have to keep praying to get help about this situation. I don't ever want to be jealous of anyone because what GOD has for me is for me.

      CaramelMommy 17 oh my goodness! I know how you feel I dealt with a friend that was very toxic... I felt like God was leading me to stay away from her and I started acting like I shouldn’t... in the end she played the victim role 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ll be praying for you because I could imagine how you feel

    • @deborahakintola5246
      @deborahakintola5246 6 лет назад +1

      Amen. I sincerely do not wish to make excuses for the friend in question but from my personal experience, I've been that friend that was jealous and I sincerely didn't know that was what I was doing...I didn't realize comparison birth that envy in my heart until the fruits started manifesting and I decided to repent. It's painful to see what jealousy can do to relationships but it's really possible she didn't know that was what she was doing (not sure anyone genuinely wants to be identified as envious). Maybe u could try praying for her.....Let the Spirit lead you, not the flesh. Pray that God will open her eyes to see how destructive it is to operate in envy and competition and continue to look to God to heal you. God's purpose for your life is for YOU and YOU alone to fulfil no matter who tries to imitate. God's plan for you will bring Him glory, just always remember that the sole purpose of God placing anything in your heart/hands is not just for you to feel like oh you've achieved, but much more to bring Him glory and make an impact. Bless you and I sincerely pray for your heart to be healed completely in Jesus name.
