				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jealousy is something we all struggle with sometimes. Overcoming jealousy and envy requires awareness of our emotional behavior and our reactions to others perceived success. Jealous attitudes and dispositions create negative emotions. Shakespeare called it the green-eyed monster and it can overtake your mind and consume you before you know it.</p>
<p>Envy and jealousy are very close in meaning. The word &#8220;jealousy&#8221; means &#8220;zealous vigilance; becoming hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage.&#8221; The word envy means; &#8220;the desire to have for oneself something possessed by another; covetousness.&#8221;</p>
<p>Faith and prayer can help you overcome jealousy and envy. Have faith that God has special plans for you. Pray for understanding and acceptance. Learn to value what you have instead of what you don&#8217;t have.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.christianwomenfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/jealousy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-622" alt="jealousy" src="http://www.christianwomenfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/jealousy.jpg" width="450" height="377" /></a></p>
<p>Jealousy and envy presents itself in just about every aspect of our lives. One might be jealous of another persons possessions or wealth. Or jealous of their beauty, health, achievements, job, marriage, social standing and the list goes on!<span id="more-620"></span></p>
<p><strong>Overcoming Jealousy</strong></p>
<p>1. <em>Stop comparing yourself to other people.</em> God has different plans for each of us. What God has planned for your life is not the same as what he has planned for someone else. We each have our own journey to fulfill.</p>
<p>2. <em>Focus on something besides yourself.</em> Live your life to be a blessing to someone else. Change your priorities from yourself to others in need. There is always someone that is in need of help. Helping others makes you more appreciative of what you do have!</p>
<p>3. <em>Focus on what is positive in your life.</em> God has blessed you with many wonderful things in your life. Focus on the positive and be thankful for what you have.</p>
<p>4. <em>Change the way you think.</em> It&#8217;s not what you don&#8217;t have that you should focus on but rather what you do have that you should value and appreciate.</p>
<p>&#8220;A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.&#8221; ~ Proverbs 14:30</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is one thing that we can always find encouragement from and that is, Jesus does not change! He is our anchor and his word is our hope. Through him we will always find unconditional love and grace.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A balanced life is what we all strive to achieve &#8211; spiritually, emotionally, and physically. God wants us to strive for balance in our personal lives. He wants us to &#8220;<em>live in harmony with one another</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Living a well-rounded life gives us the chance to make the most of every opportunity God sends our way. The only way to create a balanced life is to have Christ at the center of it and to do that we need to &#8220;Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.&#8221;</p>
<p>One key to a balanced life if to focus on the present. Do not worry about yesterday or tomorrow. &#8220;Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.&#8221; ~Matthew 6:34. We should learn from the past, live in the present and plan for the future.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.christianwomenfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Balanced-Life.jpg"><img alt="Balanced Life" src="http://www.christianwomenfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Balanced-Life.jpg" width="400" height="267" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.&#8221; ~Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.</p>
