You are God’s masterpiece

Ephesians 2:10 says "YOU are God's masterpiece". You are one of a kind! You're not a duplicate...but an original!  Know that any joy or peace you experience  will go right out the door when you submerge yourself in  the comparison trap. Comparison is a very effective and major weapon in satan's arsenal, with the sole purpose of absolutely undermining who God says YOU are. Comparison paints a false picture that everyone has it better than you. Other's husband's, wives  finances, homes, kid's,  jobs, cars, vacations and even churches leave you wanting to have the "perfect" life that others appear to be living. Obviously social media can be HUGE avenue (and contributor) that leads the way in  getting your heart entangled in comparison. When your  goal is trying to  measure up to everyone else's  "perfect life"  (instead of being there for your own) the guaranteed outcome is a joyless life filled with jealousy,  resentment and defeat. In a "filtered" world its easy to lose ourselves in trying to be who we are not. Stop pursuing and chasing the lives of others through comparison and embrace the YOU God made YOU to be. You are the only you there will ever be...and since Ephesians 2:10 says "YOU are God's   masterpiece"...be assured you are the best and only version of you ever created. Grace! Pastor Dave
