Abing.......Jesus would say "I love you kid......keep trying ....you CAN do better than that!!!" (meaning He knows your heart and knows you will keep trying till you beat that feeling of being better than someone else.......)
and
CMW.......I may be wrong (and I trust someone to correct me!!! ahhaha!!) but MY way of differeniating between "envious" and "jealousy" is with enviousness you want what another person has.....and with jealousy you not only want it, you don't want them to have it either...... I don't know.... I've also been told that they are no different ....but that's always the way I've used the two words..........
Just another thought.....something that has helped me in the past.... try to think of two things that you like about the person you are upset with....even if it is at first just their hair or another physical nice thing....and then tomorrow think of two more...different ones..till you are not thinking of the bad in them as much as the good.......sometimes this helps......just an idea....... God Bless

Here lately, I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut...and getting a point across without being mean or condescending about it. I don't think I'm better or smarter than anyone else, but I know I think fast and talk faster sometimes, and it usually results in my hurting someone's feelings when I really didn't mean to. I go back and forth between being a door mat and using my words as a weapon. I know I shouldn't go to either extreme, but it's hard for me to find a middle ground. I have to really put a lot of effort into keeping Jesus in my heart and God's Word in my mind when I am talking to people, but I feel like I fail at that more often than not. I'm a writer by nature, it's the only talent I'm sure God gave me, so it makes me feel exceptionally guilty when I use my words to do harm. I pray about it, and have others pray for me...and sometimes I do better. Sometimes...not so much....
