Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. Envy causes so many to behave in odd ways. They may become mean and be on attack. Envious ones are very destructive. The attacks are a sign that there’s something that they’re seeking. If one has a talent that many lack then some may try to go after the talent. It’s so important to embrace the God given talent. No matter what is said or done. “Stand Firm.”
There’s some who will be very determined to obtain the gifts but the “blessed” should pray and keep moving. Everyone has talent but some utilize their talents in another way. So therefore their talent gains exposure that irritate some. Tactics may be used in order to generate fear so that some just give up. No one should give up on their dreams.
Too many people stop nurturing their gifts because of others reactions. Critics will criticize whether things are going well or not. If one does or doesn’t doesn’t something will be said. It’s unfortunately that some are harassed because they’re blessed but no amount of harassment should stop “the progress.”
Sometimes we’ll have to block out individuals in order to “rise up.” Envy causes all sorts of havoc and can stay within an environment for a long time. Prayer is the best method to use when dealing with envy and envious ones. Never be controlled otherwise the gifts can be crushed.
If others are determined to take a dream away. Be more determined to keep the dream. We’ll find that we’re constantly on the battlefield but there’s protection. Use the protection and keep going no matter what. The world is filled with cruelty but we must overcome somehow.
Never be denied what is deserved. No matter how many naysayers come out, point fingers, try to create disruption. The gift deserves to shine. Oh of course they’ll be waiting to dim the light. Through faith and lots of determination. Progress can and should occur. Some will never stop being riddled with envy and there’s nothing anyone can do. The visionaries and dreamers should continue on and be courageous. The talent and the gifts are blessings.

"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."
- New Testament Scriptures
Often we go through feeling good about things, until we see someone with a better situation than our own. Professional athletes making millions of dollars a year have been known to aggressively protest because a teammate makes more money than they do. Everything was fine, until they eyed what another had. They fell under the spell of the green eye of envy.
If greed has slain its thousands, envy has slain its ten thousands. It destroys friendships, creates havoc at workplaces, and generally makes life miserable. Once bitten, it’s hard to heal.
We need to remember that everyone casts shadows on someone else, and few people sit on the mountain for very long. We long for things others have, often without counting our present blessings. Let’s examine this further:
1. Not all blessings are suitable for all.
As God designs our life quite specifically, He also designs the blessings we will receive. Not every blessing would be suitable for us, and may not match our calling in life. We should ponder this when we’re tempted to envy another’s blessings. One person’s blessing, might be another person’s curse.
2. It’s not hard to misunderstand God’s plan for our life.
When we long for the blessings that others enjoy, and even pursue them, we might stray from God’s plan for our life.
God provides us with the gifts and life situation that helps us to fulfill His plan. Sometimes we read another person’s life into our own life, thus creating misunderstanding. We want what they have, but God may not have designed those things for us. He has a different, better plan for us.
