Envy is a comparison game that sees life as a competition. But Jesus doesn’t call you to beat your competition. Jesus calls you to love your neighbour as yourself. But you can’t love someone you see as a threat. Not only that, but when you envy, do you know who else you can’t love? Yourself. Because…
- You’re too busy trying to prove your worth.
- You’re too busy comparing.
- You’re too busy to see that you’re already loved.
Jesus calls you to love your neighbour as yourself. But when you envy, you can’t do either. Envy blocks the flow of God’s love. As long as you envy, it’s impossible to love.
