Be Still Be Free

We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text!

“We won’t be distracted by comparison if we are captivated with purpose.” These words by Bob Goff jump right to the heart of the matter, don't they? And yet, most women get stuck right there, in the midst of comparison and insecurity, which stunts us from living fully alive in purpose with God and for the kingdom. Tracy lights us up this week with incredible truth bombs on how to move from comparison to acceptance, starting with a life-changing phrase: THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS! Honestly, this week will make you rejoice with freedom!
BE IN THE WORD:
“Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t.” (Rom 12:5, MSG)

“'What’s going to happen to him?' Jesus replied, 'If I decide to let him live until I return What concern is that of yours? You must still keep following me!'” (Jn 21:22)
“Get along with each other; don’t be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don’t be the great somebody.” (Rom 12:15-16)

“Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.” (Gal 6:4)
“Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation!” (Ps 139:19)
