Envy and Jealousy

Envy and Jealousy

Are very delusional friends,

They always moved together

With a single aim to offend.

Though they never get along

They can never stay apart

And often they find a lodging

In some unfortunate heart.

What turmoil they create

As they argue and fight all day

And even during the night

They continue in the same way.

They like the same very things

And hate to see someone succeed

And nothing makes them happier

Than to cause a heart to bleed

They are like an infestation

Or a cancer if you please,

If they are not exterminated

Your heart will become diseased.

They creep in unawares,

They are known for their stealth

And in no time at all

They destroy a person’s health.

Yet they are allowed to squat,

They are fed each and every day

And for the service we render them

Heartbreak is how they pay.

Though they live together

They hate one another’s guts

And the misery they cause within us

Only gets us into a rut.

Even when one tires of them

They are difficulty to evict,

They are obstinately resistant

And do not know how to quit.

  

If they are your tenants

And you can’t get them remove

Try Heart Specialist Christ Jesus

There’s no better one to choose.

He’ll saturate you with his love,

Envy and jealousy will vacate

And rather than envy another’s success

With that one you will celebrate.

Envy and jealousy

Are opposed to one’s happiness,

And once they find a willing heart

They will never let it rest.
