Diana OngThere is such a battle that goes on in me some times. How is it possible to be so incredibly happy for my friends, but to be envious of what what they have found? It is strange to have this amazing sense of excitement and happiness for someone, but still have this sense of envy of what they are experiencing. I think some envy is normal, but I don't want to be one of those bitter Bettys, as we call them.
Plus, the Bible pretty much has nothing nice to say about envy! :)
A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
He covets greedily all day long, But the righteous gives and does not spare.
