The Heart E2 - A Jealous and Envious Heart

On today's episode, Jana and Reata discuss the repercussions and antidote for a jealous and envious heart. They begin their conversation reflecting on the first tangible illustration in scripture of jealousy in the story of Cain and Abel. Cain let the jealousy in his heart consume and dominate his actions. This leads into discourse on how a jealous heart can negatively impact our relationship with God and others and the importance of subduing these dangerous emotions so that they do not consume/control us.

Additionally, they speak on the topic of comparison and how dwelling on what one does not possess ultimately displays a lack of faith and respect in our relationship with God, which often trickles down to our relationships with others.

Jana shares personal experiences with bouts of jealousy in relationships and how she overcame those feelings with gratitude, eliminating sources of dissatisfaction, changing her mindset, and trusting in God's plan and purpose. They end the episode with closing remarks about how peace and contentment are the outcomes of overcoming a jealous and envious heart. Reata shares a verse from Proverbs stating that before destruction the heart of a person is proud but before honor there is humility.
