7 Deadly... Envy

Those who experience envy don't yet have the revelation of how infinitely loving Yahweh is. He owns everything in the universe; He's the most powerful being in the universe; He's also the most loving. All you have to do is make the effort to connect with Him, and all of His supply -- and more importantly, all of who He is -- becomes available to you.

The Hebrew letter vav symbolizes man and the word "and". The concept behind this letter is that all things are possible for man when he is in covenant with Yahweh. You can have your cake AND eat it too, so to speak. Your resources are no longer finite... this includes material resources as well as spiritual and emotional resources, like love, patience, generosity... you have more than enough of these things to extend them to everyone you come across every day of your life.

When you're meditating on this concept, there's no room for envy to come into your thought processes. Every situation becomes win-win, or at least has the potential to be. Someone just swooped in and stole your Dr. McDreamy from under your nose? Then a more perfect match must be coming along any day now! Your nasty neighbor has the house/car/job/life you've always dreamed about? It can still happen for you, too. And it will happen a lot faster if you have a grateful and magnanimous attitude.

Besides, when you start to really mature, you're not even concerned with the "stuff" -- all you're really striving for is oneness with the Father, because with Him you have everything you need, and you don't want anything without Him. He is that amazing. And He's accessible to us on the most intimate levels in this life. It's up to us to seek Him out and stop wasting time looking at everyone around us wondering when our ship will come in. It already has.
