    Are we targets of envy or do we sometimes envy others? Jealousy is a strong emotion that can cause much harm, and God’s word teaches us how to deal with it and be rid of it from our lives.

(GW) One of the crucial emotions that a majority of people struggle with, is that of jealousy, though many feel uncomfortable to accept this fact. If ...read more
