In our exploration of the seven deadly sins, we delve into the insidious nature of envy. This often-overlooked sin has the power to rot our bones, as Proverbs 14:30 warns us. We're challenged to confront the ways envy manifests in our lives, particularly in this age of social media comparisons. The story of Cain and Abel reminds us how destructive envy can be, even leading to violence. But there's hope! By shifting our gaze from others to God, we can overcome envy. The concept of 'mimetic desire' teaches us that we're designed to imitate - so why not imitate Christ? As we lean into our relationship with our Heavenly Father, we can replace envy with gratitude and contentment. Let's strive to see ourselves and others through God's loving eyes, embracing our unique purpose and celebrating the success of those around us.
