Thou Shall Not Covet: Overcoming Envy

Just recently, my husband and I had a pretty convicting conversation.  It all started while studying the 10 commandments (sometimes you got to go back to the basics! Exodus 20).  We discussed each of their literal and theoretical meanings.  We noted how each holds so much relevance, even in today's society.  We agreed upon how necessary it was for God to establish a law and even talked about the Children of Israel's response.  Then my husband asked me which of the 10 do I struggle with the most.  After a careful consideration of them all, it surprised me to say covetousness (or envy).

It is so taboo to admit you are envious (I have to admit, I was quite ashamed), because no one wants to be "that" girl.  However, if you find yourself looking at people and comparing yourself to them or what they have, I'm sorry to inform you, but you may also have this struggle.  It's less about the people (or a person) and more about your dissatisfaction with what you have in comparison.

About 4 years ago I had a boot-leg camera, a strange hair do, and a message.  I dug this video up after our conversation because I knew I had once tackled this issue.  Even after so much time it really blessed me.  I hope it does the same for you!
