    Grace and Rita are good friends and are both married with kids. Grace is constantly posting new pictures of herself, her spouse and her family on Facebook. Grace and her family seem really happy and financially sound on Facebook. Grace and her spouse seems very happy on Facebook and that drives Rita crazy with Jealousy. Rita sees everything Grace posts on Facebook and she has become very envious and jealous of her friend. So Rita began pressuring her hubby to be more like Gra...ce's spouse and provide all those flashy things she sees on Facebook for their family. The pressure became too much for Rita's hubby and when he could no longer compete, he packed up and left the marriage. Later in a conversation with Grace, Rita discovered that indeed "not everything is as it appears" because it turns out that Grace's life wasn't perfect, her husband has another woman on the side and he's physically abusive. So that's why he buys her all those things in an attempt to "make up" for his shortcomings. Rita felt really stupid for driving her very sweet and perfect husband away.
    Hebrews 13:5-6 says; "Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,
    I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”
    1 Timothy 6:7-8 also states;
    "After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content"

    My Friends, we must be content with whatever God has blessed us with. We must never compete with others because God has blessed everyone differently. We must LIVE OUR lives and "stay in our own lanes". Jealousy and enviousness are very dangerous diseases and we must not allow them to consume us. Jealousy and enviousness can destroy us and cause us to miss out on God's great blessings.
    May God continue to bless you and your families!
    ****Have a blessed day My friends! ****
