‘The grass is always greener on the other side’. An idiom spoken millions of times to convey the message that things aren’t always what they seem. It refers to how we often look at other people’s situations and compare what they have to what we don’t. I’m writing this newsletter for you today to remind you that the grass is greener where you water it.

Many of us struggle with the sneaky thief of comparison. It steals our joy, our love and our accomplishments. ‘How come he has an apartment at 25 and I don't ‘How come she has a man with money and I don't’ ‘How come I didn't graduate with honors like him’. All comparison does is tear us down and bring others up. This causes a psychological issue where you see everyone as higher than basically making yourself lesser than. You are putting yourself in a position where you are looking at everyone else's garden and not tending to your own. You're neglecting the weeds and the snakes that are specifically there to steal and take away your nutrients to gaze upon your neighbors garden.

Psalms 139:13-14 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.
