Get to Know Others So You Won���t Envy Them
The key to overcoming envy is to stop comparing yourself to others.
Comparing is the root of all envy. And it was the first mistake made in the parable of the vineyard workers: The ones who were hired last ���came up and were each given a dollar. When those who were hired first saw that, they assumed they would get far more��� (Matthew 20:9-10 The Message). In other words, they started making comparisons: ���Look what they���re getting. So we���re going to get more. We deserve more.���
