We would not consider inviting a thief to come into our home and steal the things we find joy in but when we choose to compare ourselves to others, we invite a thief to steal our JOY!
Choosing gratitude for things in our life and focusing on the positive in our own lives helps ensure that we will have joy and happiness. Gratitude is the royal road to joy and we can always find things to thank God for everyday!
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
