Happy Friday, welcome to morning motivation, our final episode about envy and jealousy and getting it out of your heart and making sure our bones don't rot.

0:13.6

I don't want rotting bones.

0:16.7

I want the opposite of that.

0:18.5

Proverbs 1430 says a tranquil heart gives life to the flesh.

0:23.0

I want life, not rotting bones.

0:24.9

So we're talking about ways to get over jealousy.

0:27.5

I won't be content with what God has given you.

0:30.1

You also got to take the fact that they work forever and their family hates them. You got to take everything. And almost nothing is worth the whole package. So that's a little hack. These are all good, but the truest antidote to jealousy is love.

1:32.4

If godly love is in your heart, then you can not only not be envious.

1:39.8

You can rejoice in the success of others.

1:44.6

Oh, of course.

1:48.1

So take the person you're envious of,

1:50.1
