Avoid Envy in Christ’s Work

by Henry Drummond (1851–1897)

Whenever you attempt a good work you will find other men doing the same kind of work, and probably doing it better. Envy them not. Envy is a feeling of ill-will to those who are in the same line as ourselves, a spirit of covetousness and detraction. How little even Christian work is a protection against unchristian feeling! That most despicable of all the unworthy moods which cloud a Christian’s soul assuredly waits for for us on the threshold of every work, unless we are fortified with this grace of magnanimity. Only one thing need the Christian envy, the large, rich, generous soul which “envieth not.”

Why am I not allowed to be stressed out? Why should I not be catered to? And, so on, ad nauseam et ad infinitum. It really…

Vulnerability: Fertilizer for the Heart

From time to time I will find that ill-will towards someone will become “stuck” in my mind. Whenever I think about this person, there will be an accompanying cloud of darkness and a general aversion. Naturally, such unchallenged aversion can’t be allowed to take up residence in my mind but I am often at a loss when it comes to finding effective antidotes.
