LoVe does not envy

​“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” (1 Corinthians 13:4)

“But give me freedom from envy; let me be content with what God has given me, let me say, ‘You may have yours, I will not envy you-I am satisfied with mine,’ yes, give me such a love to my fellow creatures that I can rejoice in their joy, and the more they have the more glad I am of it. My candle will burn no less brightly because theirs outshines it. I can rejoice in their prosperity. Then am I happy, for all around tends to make me blissful, when I can rejoice in the joys of others, and make their gladness my own.”


From: REV. C.H. SPURGEON, Delivered on Sabbath Evening, May 20, 1855, At Exeter Hall, Strand.
