Hostage – Envy from Nick Jones on Vimeo.

This is a video, that I shot a couple of years back dealing with the deadly sin of envy. Envy is real and it’s deadly. Here are some envy quotes to ponder:

  • When men are full of envy, they disparage everything, whether it be good or bad.
  • Envy is thin because it bites but never eats.  ~Spanish Proverb
  • The few who do are the envy of the many who only watch.~Jim Rohn
  • Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope. ~Josh Billings
  • Envy is the tribute that mediocrity pays to genius, hard-work, success and the appearance of success…

    So true! Something I struggle with OFTEN – just had a conversation about this very topic with a close Christian friend last week. She doesn’t struggle with it as much as I do, and we talked about that.

    Hard stuff….

    Wow, intense and so real. It’s amazing how we all have something that attempts to hold us hostage. The word hostage here is perfect — it signals an alarm.
