Envy

The sinless life of Christ the King was lived in humility and servanthood. He fought for the least of these, and opposed the prideful. For this He was spat upon, scorned, beaten and crucified.  The ugliness that is envy and hatred, murdered Christ, most of his disciples, and has brought darkness to our world.

"Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." – 1 John 4:8

The world teaches us to even the score, but Jesus teaches us to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:12). To live like Christ will make us easy targets, "but the one who endures to the end will be saved" (Matthew 10:22). When faced with hurt and hate, place it at the foot of the Cross, and let God deal with it.  

"Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” – Romans 12:19-20

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
