Are any of you wise and understanding? Show that your actions are good with a humble lifestyle that comes from wisdom. However, if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, then stop bragging and living in ways that deny the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above. Instead, it is from the earth, natural and demonic. Wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and everything that is evil. What of the wisdom from above? First, it is pure, and then peaceful, gentle, obedient, filled with mercy and good actions, fair, and genuine. Those who make peace sow the seeds of justice by their peaceful acts. (James 3:13-18, CEB)
Jealousy and selfish ambition is a denying of the truth of God. These bring disorder and evil and get in the way of community and grace.
When we see others for the beauty that God sees in them and for the wonder they bring to the world. There will be purity and peace. We will abide together and see how we work together in one community, one body.
Use the wisdom from above and do not be jealous of others, but see how they compliment the gifts you bring.
Loving People. Loving God.
