The fourth chapter of Genesis recounts the very first murder recorded in the Bible, the slaying of Abel by his brother Cain. Several generations later, Joseph - the 11th of the 12 sons of Jacob was sold into slavery by his brothers, after also plotting to kill him. When the nation of Israel became a kingdom, David the young shepherd became the target of several assassination attempts by Saul, the first king. Murder. Reckless and endangerment. Attempted homicide. All triggered by the cancer-like malady known as jealousy. "For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and motivated by the Devil."

As stated in the Bible "For jealousy and selfishness are not God's kind of wisdom. Such things are earthly, unspiritual and motivated by Devil."

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others to be preferred and rewarded than you. There is only one alternative -self- value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believed that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes.
