Our words can build and develop our connections or they can disappoint and divide us. I try to forget the rude things that are said but savor the life giving encouraging words. It’s difficult to get rid of jealousy, envy, and competition among friends. Looking back, I can see how I’ve compared myself to others far too much and have felt put down by those who had more or who thought they were in a race for power and possessions. Peace and contentment in the heart do not result from envy. The more I grasp how much God lives is and what He has done for us, being jealous is very silly and petty. God’s power gives life and purpose for loving / living like none other.
