Dear ,

Today's devotion is based on Romans 12:15: Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.

If you recall from Sunday's message, I mentioned that rejoicing with others can be tough when we are envious or jealous of them.

As I replayed Sunday's message in my head, I realized that I switched up the definitions for envy and jealousy. I'm sorry about that.

To straighten it out:

Envy is a resentful desire where we want what we don't have, and resent those who have what we want.

Jealousy is a defensive desire where we feel the threat of losing what we do have to someone else.

Instead of writing a devotion for you, I highly, highly, highly recommend you take the time to watch a gripping sermon by my friend, Jamin Roller. He's the teaching pastor at Christ Church in Plano.

Why do I highly recommend you watch this video? Because you will gain access to freedom and peace that envy and jealousy have silently stolen from you.

Watch Wisdom for Envy & Jealousy
