Jealousy leads to destruction

I know that everyone on earth have been jealous at someone at one point. Whether is about little things or big things, Jealousy is Jealousy. Be very careful what you do when you are jealous. God is very serious about the this, he even written it in the Ten Commandments. In Exodus 20:17: 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” 
In the story of Abel and Cain in the First Murder, Cain was Jealous of his little brother Abel because God accepted Abel's Sacrifice because Abel gave from his heart, the best and finest of all his lambs, to give to God. But Cain didn't do that, he gave what he didn't need and sparely to God too. But because of his Jealousy he killed Abel and then God confronted him and curse him and all of his generation to come. 
Many of us now a day would be jealous of someone's new house, cars, financial stability, talents etc... Some would even steal from others because of that jealousy inside of them. 
My brothers and Sisters in Christ don't be Jealous of others but instead rejoice with them for all their blessing and gifts. Let us rejoice and give thanks to the Lord for all that he does for us. Appreciate what you do have and thank God for them.
