“A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones.” Proverbs 14:30

There is only one answer that can cure envy and that’s contentment and thankfulness in Christ.  Contentment and thankfulness isn’t something that just happens, it’s a decision you make every single day.  To sing every morning that old hymn, “This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!”  I don’t see how anyone can have these two things without Christ.  To me, it seems impossible.
