Jealousy says, ‘I’m afraid you are going to take what I have.’ Envy says, ‘I want what you have, and I resent you for having it!’
If you covet what someone else has, ask yourself, ‘Am I willing to pay the price they paid to obtain it?’ The world has a saying: ‘There is no such thing as a free lunch.’ Everything – except salvation – has a price tag. So whether you want to be thin, rich, educated, or whatever, stop envying the success of others, and ask God to help you succeed in the assignment He has given you for your life.
