Here's Melissa Kruger.

I think we think that we can get out of relationships what only Christ is really able to provide.

Sure.

And so Christ alone can fill our relationships and fill the other things in our lives.

But we start hoping in those items to be our Savior, they're always going to fail and disappoint us.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Holiness.

For Wednesday, August 16th, 2017.

Yesterday, we heard the first part of a conversation between Aaron Davis and Melissa Kruger.

Aaron heads up the Lies Young Women Believe blog for Revive Our Hearts.

And she met up at a gospel coalition Women's Conference to talk with Melissa Kruger. Melissa's the author of a book called The Envy of Eve, Finding Contentment in a Covetious World. Yesterday,

Aaron and Melissa began helping us realize some of the subtle forms that envy can take.

And today, as we pick back up, we'll see how envy can be evident when we compare

ourselves to others. Let's listen. As you were retelling Eve's story, I was thinking how easy it was

to trick her. I mean, she fell for it, really. There wasn't any convincing. They didn't have to

hash it out. I think those lies are so close to the

surface of our heart um that we fall for them I know I do oh yeah over and over again yeah it's just

those little questions sure that's start up you give three characteristics of coveting and they're a little

bit they're they're heavy

hitters these characteristics one coveting is a sin pattern not a circumstance

out no what's the difference I know well I think what most of us can see we can

look back at a pattern in our lives of just, you know, if you thought back, what did you really want when you're 15? You might laugh to yourself. Yeah. You're like, now I'm so glad I didn't get that boy. I am. Exactly. And you really wanted something or someone. And then you look at your 20s and you were aching for something else.

And then you go to your 30s.
