Whisper in the Wind

 "I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God." - No longer slaves (Bethel Music) In our darkest moments when we feel so alone, and we feel so lost; we tend to feel like slaves to our pain, to our anxiety. They are our slave masters, they tell us how to act and they tell us how to feel. But we don't have to be slaves to our fear anymore because we are children of an almighty God.  "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?" - Psalms 56:54 "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart. I have overcome the world." - John 16:33 "For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God who lightens my darkness." - Psalms 18:28

Then another day I stumbled upon some Bible verses that really stood out to me. James 1:2-3 says, "Consider it pure joy, my brother...

 Welcome to the Whispers in the Wing Blog. As I was sitting in Church this morning this was a subject that I felt really just was put on my heart to write about. I think a lot of us struggle with social comparison. I know that in my own life I have struggled a lot with comparing myself with others, and sometimes just wishing that I could be prettier or skinnier or funnier or more likable. But the truth is when it comes to comparing yourselves to others, that is a competition that no one can win. If you judge and compare yourself to others in the worlds standards there is always going to be someone prettier, skinnier, funnier, more popular than you. And there is a reason for that, God made us all unique, there is no one specific way to be beautiful or funny. We are all of God's masterpieces, think about that for a second, when you are insulting or judging yourself, than you are judging the amazing creator who created the whole worlds work, you are judging God's masterpiece.  I ...
