How to Love Like The Lord: Envy is of the Enemy

Envy. It’s one of the most overlooked yet spiritually dangerous emotions we can entertain. In today’s deeply personal episode, I’m sharing a story that’s stayed with me for decades—a warning from my mother, Carmen, just months before she passed, about the destructive power of envy.We’ll explore: ✝️ What Scripture says about envy and how it leads to spiritual decay ✝️ How envy is rooted in ingratitude and comparison ✝️ Why envy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a foothold for the enemy ✝️ The antidote to envy (and the spiritual shift that brings freedom) ✝️ How to turn jealousy into joy and comparison into confidenceWe’re going to dive deep—into what it means to honor your own calling, to encourage others without fear, and to stop chasing crowns that were never meant for you.This episode is for the woman who’s been on both sides of envy—the one who’s felt it... and the one who’s been wounded by it.🦋 Featuring: • Personal testimony • Scripture-based teaching (Romans 1:21, James 3:14–16, Galatians 5:19–21) • A powerful reflection prayer • Questions to help you confront envy with grace and truth✝️ Let’s expose this emotion for what it truly is—a tool of the enemy—and replace it with gratitude, confidence, and Christ-centered purpose.If today’s message spoke to you, please share it with a friend and follow Born to be a Butterfly so you never miss an episode. 📖 Ready to dive deeper into healing and transformation?
