Jealousy is a tree with bad fruit, it is just a spoiler of good. It looks at what someone else may have that they don't and resent them for it. It erases thankfulness for what one does have.  Let's be aware of when it may lift its head in our lives and give it no room to grow.

Guilt is something that can dog us for years and years.  it is like a. wound that needs tending to.  So what oh what to do with our guilt?  Use it as a springboard to healing through honest deep personal prayer before God, also known as confession and repentance.
