Your Life Is Not A Competition. Quit Envy.... by uchkochi(m): 1:44pm On Aug 16, 2016
YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COMPETITION. BEWARE, ENVY PURSUES GOOD THINGS.

What happened for your neighbour that has not yet happened for you does not mean that he or she is better than you. Rejoice with him or her but do not envy. It is possible for envy to step in without you lettting it. It is part of the human nature, but you can kill it by calling that neighbour and letting him know how happy you are.

Someone has said and I believe; that the only difference between HERE & THERE IS 'T'. That 'T' stands for TIME. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. God ask me to tell you that no matter what you are going through,IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.Don't give up, Don't break down,because it is only just a matter of time.God has answered your prayers,He has seen your tears,He has undo the heavy burdens and broken every yoke. But it is still a matter of time.

Why is it only a matter of time? The reason is for your patience to be complete. God does not want to see anxiety in your heart, Philippians 4 : 6.He wants to see patience instead.James 1:3-4. Well you may be saying,you have been patient all this while. The truth is; that patience you claim you have is mixed with anxiety. True patience puts you at rest,that you will not even be bothered whether God does it or not.

Be patient because God has already answered your prayers,He has opened your breakthrough doors,but He is checking your heart whether you are patient or anxious. So receive grace to be patient.

Nice Post. Considering the fact that we live in a copycat generation where youth rarely believe in themselves and try to be pacesetters instead they copy what is in vogue because of lack of self esteem, which consequently results into envy and jealousy. Nobody needs to come down for you to go up, and you are not down because anyone is up, the sky is enough for all of us. really Nice Topic.
