Dante
in his writing on purgatory portrayed envy as blind beggars sitting by a wall–their
eyelids sewn shut. The symbolism was to reveal that envy is a blinding sin—an
envious person has sewn himself up with his poisonous thoughts.
God
wants his people to be content: “11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have
learned to be content whatever the circumstances”(Phil 4:11.) NIV
Let's rid ourselves of envy.
