Pride, a lie, a heightened sense of self, has many fuels, including envy. Every person throughout their lifetime, consciously or subconsciously, battle with the world’s and their own pride, envy, and a lack of humility. Much has been lost due to envy and a lack of humility. But Christ-like love has empathy – and kindly helps each other with prayers and wisdom to lose layers of pride and to gain righteous truth’s humility.
Only God knows the amount of heartache, suffering, and destruction from envy and a lack of humility. The envy of the enemy and like-minded humans cannot bear to not be worshiped, nor the successes and joy of others. A portion of envy cannot bear that God can do something that they cannot – and therefore they reject, adjust, or critique God’s blessings.
Envy can go into an emotional overload of a war-path due to what someone else possesses or has accomplished. Much striving, actions, and goals are unconsciously lived from envy instigating a daily grind in the lives of many. Envy might see or experience just one thing that sets them off – and their life becomes a reaction to it.
An unhealthy competitor, envy’s insecurities can actually be against those who have done nothing to them, but just by existing they compromise envy’s need in some way to feel superior. Envy is not on the side of God as well as it is on the side of itself unless it needs help. Placing God of lesser importance, envy rejects respect and obedience to God’s will. Having the need to be their own god and in charge, is envy forging its own will and path – forsaking a fulfillment of blessings.
Jesus is truth, humility, and protection from the enemy. Discernment reveals that greater the humility of someone, is someone of greater truth – as an ingredient to acquire humility is truth. When humility is missing – is the time to be alert, as truth, and hence trust is missing. Within pride’s lie, thinking so highly of itself, is self-destruction from vanity, arrogance, and envy. Without humble repentance – pride and envy can suffer in great regrets when looking back.
Envy never has peace. But there is hope for envy, as it can be overcome, enlightened, and thrust into a life with the Holy Spirit of joy and peace! Greater than someone being an independent false god is humbly doing things with God’s power and wisdom to benefit themselves, loved ones, and others past human capacity!
Be it God’s will – someone who is conscientiously accountable, in respect to God, praying to self-examine and review the history of the truth of their words and actions – can reach beautiful states and levels of Holy Spiritual humility. Within truth and humility is God’s profound Holy wisdom to perfectly address all things.
Jesus ‘IS’ truth, humility, wisdom, and love. Those exercising the riches of truth, humility, wisdom, and love know and yearn for the only direction to seek – more truth, humility, wisdom, and love.
Humility’s depths are infinite, does not boast of itself, and spends much time humbly praying to seek Jesus’ judgment of themselves for cleansing and growth. A good and righteous conscience keeps swallowing layers of pride and envy – including for greater communion with God’s Holy Spirit. Gratitude is known to have great riches as a vessel of the selfless gracious love of Jesus. This includes by feeling true elation of joy – by selflessly helping and witnessing others to feel joy! Deeper levels of gratitude rejoice upon the discovery of new ways for greater riches! This includes the humble riches of thoughtful kind words – and selfless sacrificial actions – to let others feel loved as they have been loved with ‘absolute love and humility’ on a cross, Jesus Christ!
