Thanks for an excellent article. I was never a jealous person but since moving to a new country and not being as well off financially as I was before I have really battled. I envy the financial situation and material wealth that my friends have but I am trying to be content with what I have. Wealth cannot be measured by material things or money but in the relationship we have with Jesus Christ and our salvation. What else could we possibly need. I pray that God will help you all through your weaknesses and that your strengths may shine. God bless.

This was a rough read. I didn't realize how jealous I was...it seems like you get one thing licked and God shows you all this other stuff. but praise God for showing us. thank you for this article because I used to struggle with jealously towards my friends. Why does she have so many friends Lord..What does she have a house Lord. Not understanding if I would take care of the friends I had I might have more...she was friendly I was not. God didn't want me to have a house..maybe He has something better. I finally understand that Jealously is one of the biggest blessing blockers and When you start to become a better person and appreciate what God has for you..He can bless you with more. Thank you for this article.

I thank The Lord for these honest articles, because many times on the outside we seem to be so perfect and Holy which is not that way as humans that we are. I struggled with these feelings towards my mother-in-law, which I knew was wrong, and the wonderful word of God kept on saying that is not ok. After struggling for months with this feeling, asking The Lord for his help, this feeling has changed and as I always wanted, I love her and admire her. But thank you, because sometimes you feel so sinful and think your the only one who feels that way... God bless you. Brenda S. Guatemala
