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.
