TOPIC: ENVY AND ADMIRATION: What Envy does? (3)
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Timothy 4:12.
“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
BIBLE READING:
Galatians 5:26
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, *ENVYING* one another.
Envy can have various consequences, both for the person experiencing it and for their relationships with others. Some potential consequences of envy include:
1. Negative emotions: Envy often leads to negative emotions such as bitterness, resentment, frustration, or feelings of inferiority. These emotions can have a detrimental impact on one’s mental and emotional well-being. Cain had the same emotion towards Abel until he killed him.
2. Strained relationships: Envy can strain relationships, particularly if it leads to feelings of competition, jealousy, or hostility towards the person who is envied. It can create a sense of distance or resentment between individuals, damaging mutual trust.
3. Unhealthy comparisons: Envy can fuel unhealthy comparisons, where individuals constantly measure themselves against others and feel inadequate or dissatisfied with their own lives. This can lead to a negative self-image and a sense of perpetual dissatisfaction.
Do you exhibit these attitude towards others? If yes, please check yourself for envy. No one can take what belongs to you so stop focusing on what belongs to others.
See you tomorrow for more.
Good Day and God bless you.
