It does not envy

Envy.... it is so easy to recognize in others, so ugly in ourselves. Envy is worse than wanting what others have, it is not being thankful for what God has given us. Have you ever had a child who turned away from a gift you thought he'd love and looked at someone else's with longing, or who has outright told you, "mom, I really wanted the other kind?" You realize it wasn't that he didn't receive a wonderful gift, it was that he was looking at the wrong thing. We do the same. When we feel that desire for something we don't have, we are focusing on the wrong thing. Love looks at what it has and the God who has provided it. Love realizes that God knows what we need and when we need it because he is our loving father.
