It is very likely that you have met this Christmas brat before. Undoubtedly, many Christmas celebrations have had to deal with this little monster.
In the picture above we see that a picture really does speak a thousand words... so I will skip those words and give only the appropriate history for context. For one child, Christmas and birthday celebations overlapped... doubled... and so did the gifts received. Of course, someone would have to feel this was unfair. Can you guess who?
Envy and jealousy are powerful emotions... and very destructive. They reveal a covetous human sinful nature that is anything but loving.
Love is not a stinker. "... it does not envy..." according to Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Furthermore, we should also "Live in harmony with one another." according to Romans 12:16
