I WANT.......

Envy is an interesting word. It is usually used in a negative manner. Dictionary.com defines it as: a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc. I wish I had a house like my neighbors. My job isn't as good as his. Why would a good and loving God supply us with such an emotion? Let's say you see someone demonstrating the love of Christ in their life. You see a joy in their life that you wish you could have. Could it be we were created with this longing for something better because God wants us to be filled with that same joy? A supernatural joy like nothing in this world?
