Comparison, The Thief of Joy (Discovery Series Booklet)

Social media connects us with people’s lives across
the globe. But for all the good it brings, it also exposes
a common human tendency—comparing ourselves
with others. In this, we don’t often come out ahead.
This comparison with highlights of others’ lives has
the potential to steal our satisfaction. Joy, on the other
hand, is a sign of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Author Jennifer Grant identifies uses of social media that may
be robbing us of joy and in turn shares how joy fuels
gratitude, service, and a thriving connection with God
and with the people around us.
