James 3:14 "But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice." Envy, selfish ambition, both I'm sadly guilty of. We are to be happy for others in their gain not envious. Envy, jealousy selfish ambition make a beautiful person ugly. When I go into the pit of these horrible feelings; I intentionally fight them by being thankful for what I have and praise God that His ways are greater than mine. Praise, thanksgiving and reading His word are good ways to combat the ugly inside us.😇🙏♥️💃🌸Good thing we are seen by God as righteous through Jesus. Jesus takes our wretchedness and makes us worthy!! Not because of what we do but because of what He Did!!! Believe!!😇🙏♥️💃🌸 Keep turning from sin and to God. It’s our constant battle!! It’s a fight worth fighting!!
James 4:7-8. "Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8. Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners and purify your hearts, you double minded."
