Hello, Happy Wednesday! Today I want to talk about being happy with yourself! Especially in today’s world we do a lot of comparison. Thanks to social media! Oh they have a better car, or they have a big house, or I’m not good enough because I don’t have those things. Ummmm…. NO! God created you beautiful; everyone looks differently and that’s ok! Just because they have a bigger house doesn’t make you any less than them! It’s ok!

I struggle with comparison and when I feel myself starting to do it I say to myself “No we are not doing that!” Because truly it’s exhausting! God, the Most High created everyone fearfully and wonderfully made! Just because you’re not a size double 0 doesn’t make you any less than someone who is. Or say someone has a job that makes more money than you. You’re no less! God has provided for you; we should not wallow in self pity but WORSHIP Him who provided it! And if you are more fortunate, do not boast of your belongings, but help those who are less fortunate! So, today I speak over you Joy with yourself, your appearance, job,income, house, and your life! PRAISE BE TO HIM! Also send prayers to Israel and the Middle East! Have a great week. You’re beautiful, loved, and special in GOD’S eyes! xxooxx Harper Jo
