Jealousy is the root cause of most of our sins. The Bible says that one of the first sins in the world happened because of jealousy. One of the Adam’s sons, Cain, was jealous that his brother Abel’s sacrifice was more pleasing in God’s sight. This let to Cain killing his brother even though God had strongly warned Cain to control his jealousy. This was the first murder and from then on, murders have continued in the world. Let’s not envy others. Instead of jealousy, may our hearts be filled with love for one another. Never pray that something bad will come upon others, that is, never curse others, because God loves all of us. As long as our hearts are filled with jealousy, God will not accept our prayers.
