Do you struggle with envy? I admit I do a lot without realizing it. Lately I find myself thinking about envy and why it is wrong. What are your feelings on envy? Please help me to understand this sin.

Envy is like jealousy a it will consume you and take away your peace. Be content with such things that you have and
understand who you are in Christ. Love yourself for whom the Lord made you. We are uniquely and individually made
Find that peace that comes from the Lord and don't let others rob it from you.:)

Envy is when you want something that does not belong to you and you have no right to it, Jealousy is when you want something that does belong to you and you have every right to it.:)

these things are tricky. you have to be so carefull not to have a " I deserve this and that additude" it is so easy to tell yourself that you only want what you should have. but this can lead to envy in a second.
