Are you jealous of anyone?
Do you dislike hearing anyone spoken well of or "praised"? Do you enjoy hearing of someone failing at something? Are you threatened by someone else's success? Do you harbor any ill feelings against a co-worker who is receiving recognition or promotion that you feel you deserve? Do you want to see someone fail just so they don't look so "perfect"? Is there someone at church who is being seen as more spiritual than you are? Is someone else's ministry thriving while your ministry struggles and you harbor negative thoughts against that ministry or the person leading it?
Not only is jealousy dangerous in your relationships, it is a sin against God. More specifically, it is expressing to God that you are not content with what He has given you or what He has done in your life. Perhaps you are unknowingly bitter against God for not doing for you what you feel He is doing for someone else.
