Envy is probably one of the most pervasive but least dealt with “sicknesses” in our hearts. Why don’t we deal with it? We don’t think envy’s that bad; we don’t really know how to fix it anyway; and honestly dealing with the true envy of our hearts is sometimes too threatening—we might discover stuff we really don’t want to know about ourselves. But God gives us grace for our struggles with envy—he did in case of Miriam and Aaron, and also does so for us—first, by showing us how envy grows within us, and then by pointing us to the way he heals us of this spiritual disease.
