W@W WRAP – Week 461

Breaking Free from Comparison — Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media—seeing perfect homes, smiling families, and dream holidays—and suddenly feeling… less than? Comparison is so subtle, so silent, that it often slips in unnoticed. Yet it is powerful. It creeps into our hearts whispering, “You’re not enough. You’re behind. You don’t measure up.” But here’s the truth: Comparison is not just a thief of joy—it’s a thief of wisdom, gratitude, and worship. It blinds us to our blessings, breeds discontent, and distracts us from our divine calling. It makes us look sideways when God is calling us to look upward. God never intended for us to live as a copy. We are His original masterpiece—crafted with divine intention and purpose. (Galatians 6:4–5, Philippians 4:11–12 & John 21:22)

W@W WRAP – Week 299

Purpose in the process – You have possibly experienced going to an optometrist or eye doctor – whether for a test, glasses, contacts, or surgery to restore your eyesight to what they call 20/20 vision. That is 'normal vision' in which a person can see an object clearly from 20 feet away. Today, let's consider what we will call 50/20 vision. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph looks back over things that happened throughout his life, and sees how God worked even the negative experiences for good. There is always purpose in the process. What is your perspective of your past, and of today; and how do you see your tomorrows? May we always stand in awe of our amazing Heavenly Father and count our blessings one by one! (Genesis 50:15-21)
