One Ugly Word: Comparison

My first book Stress Point published almost a year ago now! As I’m taking several writing days to focus on my NEXT book as well as taking some vacation, I thought it would be fun to re-post the video blogs I made for each chapter of the book. You don’t have to have read the book in order to benefit from these videos…but I do hope you will consider checking out Stress Point :)

 

In this video the corresponds to Chapter 2: Self Image, I talk about comparison and how it is such an ugly word.

I invite you to check out my book Stress Point if you haven’t read it yet. It is packed with real, raw and relevant encouragement to make Jesus the center of every part of life to find godly success, purpose and well-being.

Career: Paying Your Dues

My first book Stress Point published almost a year ago now! As I’m taking several writing days to focus on my NEXT book as well as taking some vacation, I thought it would be fun to re-post the video blogs I made for each chapter of the book. You don’t have to have read the book in order to benefit from these videos…but I do hope you will consider checking out Stress Point :)

 

The first chapter of Stress Point talks about our career. I talk a lot about finding our “dream job” and how it can be discouraging as a young adult when we just haven’t yet navigated our way to a job that we are super passionate about. Along the journey, it is key to keep our eyes right on Jesus and make Him our passion. Our job will not fulfill our needs and make us conent and happy. Check out my thoughts about my own career journey and how I focus on Jesus first.

Renee has been so gracious to share with us an exceprt from Loves Me Not and I’m confident that this will give you hope and assurance should you take her words to heart. Check out a few words from Chapter 2 of Loves Me Not by Renee Fisher:

 

You never know when an incident—whether bad or good—is going to happen to change the entire course of your life. That’s why it’s important to stay in the Word and in prayer, so that you are able to stand firm against heartbreak when the trials come (Ephesians 6:13). Here is a list of twenty-seven types I’ve complied by doing a “heart” search in the Bible to find healing for your broken heart. Feel free to write down your favorite verses, or make up your own list.

+ Do you have a praying heart? ~ Genesis 24:45

 

+ Do you have a hardened heart? ~ Exodus 7:3, 9:35

 

+ Do you have a fiery heart? ~ Deuteronomy 5:4, 24

 

+ Do you have a judgmental heart? ~ 1 Samuel 16:7

 

+ Do you have a wise and understanding heart? ~ 1 Kings 3:12, Proverbs 2:10

+ Do you have a whole heart? ~ 1 Chronicles 28:9, 29:17

+ Do you have a faithful and undivided heart? ~ 2 Chronicles 15:17, 16:9b

 

+ Do you have a faint heart? ~ Job 23:16

 

+ Do you have a lustful heart? ~ Job 31:7, Matthew 5:28

 

+ Do you have an examined heart? ~ Psalm 17:3

 

+ Do you have a pure heart? ~ Psalm 24:4, 2 Timothy 2:22

 

+ Do you have a sad heart? ~ Psalm 42:5, 42:11, 43:5

 

+ Do you have a broken and repentant heart? ~ Psalm 51:17

 

+ Do you have a hidden heart? ~ Psalm 119:11

 

+ Do you have a guarded heart? ~ Proverbs 4:23, Philippians 4:7

 

+ Do you have a happy or heavy heart? ~ Proverbs 14:13, 30; 15:13

 

+ Do you have a captured heart? ~ Song of Solomon 4:9

 

+ Do you have a deceitful heart? ~ Jeremiah 17:9

 

+ Do you have a single heart? ~ Ezekiel 11:19

 

+ Do you have a new heart? ~ Ezekiel 36:26

 

+ Do you have a torn heart? ~ Joel 2:13 + Do you have a treasured heart? ~ Matthew 6:21

 

+ Do you have a good or evil heart? ~ Matthew 12:35

 

+ Do you have an anxious heart? ~ Luke 21:34

 

+ Do you have a taken heart? ~ John 16:33

 

+ Do you have a holy heart? ~ 2 Corinthians 1:22

 

+ Do you have a thankful heart? ~ Colossians 3:16, 4:2

After reading through this list, I hope you have a better understanding of what it looks like to have a whole heart—one that rests safely in the arms of Jesus. There should be no more doubts that a healed heart can happen. It is possible!

Maybe it takes time. 

Maybe it takes lots of time.

The healing process is different for each person, and each relationship is different as well.
