The only thing that jealousy and selfishness (strife and envy) is good for is NOTHING. It will bring out the worst in people.


It can destroy friendships and families quicker than a heartbeat. When someone is looking out for only themselves, and they refuse to even listen to another opinion…trouble is next.


I personally think it is okay to look at other Godly people and want what they have. If those folks have got it going on, look at their habits and how they follow the Lord in their decisions. Don’t be jealous of them, just figure out how you can be in a positive position of blessing.


It is not a competition. It is a mutual give and take void of jealousy and selfishness.


James 3:16 TPT

[16] So wherever jealousy and selfishness are uncovered, you will also find many troubles and every kind of meanness. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
