And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

- Hebrews 10:24–25

​

What if, rather than being envious of someone's path to success, you encouraged her along the way? Coming alongside your friend, sister, or co-worker as she succeeds brings you into her joy.

​

And there's not much room for jealousy and envy in a joy-filled friendship.

​

Who do you need to encourage more and envy less?
