Comparison and competition

Comparison and competition are the enemies of joy and contentment. I know because for years I've struggled with it and watched other women fall victim to it as well. In fact I think it's one of Satan's favorite tools to use against us women. I have reached a point in my life where I won't allow these thoughts or emotions to take hold of me any longer! Every time a thought of why not me?, or why them? pops up I will take it captive and refuse to let it have control over me or my thoughts. In fact I will say aloud I conquer all things through Christ and this is just a sinful thought or emotion and I will not allow it to take root in my heart, I won't allow to entangle my mind. I will not allow it to consume my time, or taint my witness. And I may continue to struggle, but I also will continue to fight. Proverbs 14:30 a tranquil heart gives life to the flesh but envy makes the bones rot. That's a good word y'all. God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
