The one thing a man hates…

A woman with boy legs?

Man boobys?

Lose a job?

Another man has a better home, car or job?

 

NOPE… so what does a man truly hate more than anything?

 

A man hates comparisons.

You don’t work as hard as Tiffany’s husband.

You are not as smart…

He could beat you up…

My old boyfriend used to take me out 3 times a week

 

 

What is worse…

You don’t kiss very good

OR

My ex kisses a lot better than you.

  -  You can’t fix anything around the house

OR

  -  My dad can fix anything and you can’t fix one thing

 

I wish you made more money

OR

Sara’s husband makes so much more money than you

 

Negative speech is an open wound, but comparison is the salt in the wound.

 

 

I would hate to be around someone who is always comparing my losses, my inabilities, my flaws to those around me that are so much better.

 

Ok, but what is today about? The person who is the worst at this? IS YOU! You compare yourself to everyone around you. Your small voice in the back of your head, it doubts you, it compares you, it sees the negative, it lies to you… it is worse than any other person in your life. 

AND MAYBE YOU ALSO HAVE THE VOICES OF YOUR PARENTS IN THERE… OR EVEN A SPOUSE…

 

It is imperative that you compare yourself to scripture and what it says about you. This is a common theme in my podcasts but it is because I am constantly amazed at how many men know this and how few of them do it. 

Look here is a great exercise for you to do every day.

YOU - YES YOU make a list of just 3 things you do well

Then make a list of 3 things you respect about yourself

Then make a list of 3 things The bible says you are.

Here is my list for the day:

What I do well- I don’t give up easily, I can talk to just about anybody, I share my faith easily,

The things I respect about me: I have never given up on my marriage (and it has not always been easy) I have always loved my boys physically, verbally and emotionally, I am willing to work as hard and as long as it takes to pay the bills,

Three things the bible says about me:

The bible says i will lay hands on the sick and they shall recover

The Bible says I am loved unconditionally and not by works

The Bible says he has given his angels charge over me and I will not even stub my toe. 

 

If you have no one in your life to speak these things into your life… then you must be the one to reframe your life daily and transform your mind. 

 

BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. Romans 12:2

Who is responsible for that? YOU ARE!
