We should be glad for people that have achieved their lifelong dream. We do not know what they have been through to get where they are today. We should never be resentful of another’s good fortune or achievement.
If you feel pain at seeing another’s good fortune or achievement, you are not happy for them. As good Christians, we should be satisfied with everyone’s good luck. Achievements do not just get handed to one on a silver platter. People work hard for their accomplishments.
Envy is destructive when you are not satisfied with your friend’s accomplishments. Jealousy is good if you long for something and work hard to earn the item you desire. Praise people for their achievements and do not resent them.
If you want another person’s possessions, think twice about that. Maybe their possessions have weighed them down and consumed their whole life. Owning something does not make you happy. Friends and family make you happy. Controls wear out and get sold.
If someone you know has a desirable attribute, consider how to become more like them and not resent them. Strive to be the kind of person that God wants you to be. Be helpful, kind, compassionate, caring, loving, peaceful, hopeful, joyful, faithful, and a good steward of God for every chance you give.
I am happy when I see someone achieve their lifelong dream. Reach for the stars in the heavens, as they will bring you to new heights. Share your good fortunes with others. Use your achievement to benefit humanity.
God is faithful, forgiving, and kind to all of humanity. God is overjoyed at all of our accomplishments and achievements in life. God wants his flock to do well on earth and share our achievements with others for the benefit of all. Do not be boastful. Give and never expect anything in return. Be gracious and thankful for all of the blessings in your life and pass them along to others.
