Love doesn't...envy

Jesus says "Love your neighbor as yourself". The inherent prerequisite to being able to love others is loving yourself. We can all agree the bible talks about pride and narcissicm as being unhealthy, but the other side of the spectrum is just as unhealthy-- sometimes the problem is not people being too narcisstic but being so down on themselves they can't love others as themselves. If you do not love the person God made you to be, how will that transfer to loving people as you love yourself?
Discontentment breeds envy. When we are not thankful to the ways we've been blessed and we are not content with what God has given to us we begin to envy. Essentially at the heart of this issue is a doubting of God's goodness. "I wish I had...." or "If I just was..." Now to qualify, these thoughts and statements aren't always wrong. This wording isn't the problem, but sometimes this wording can reveal the heart problem. God has given us many things, He has made us all uniquely, we all have different skills, passions, desires and that is a good thing. We aren't mass produced robots. When we are discontent with how God has made us, we begin to look outwardly at others and see what God has given or done for them and we begin to ask, "why don't I have that?" "Why am I not like that?" Again, these statements aren't inherently wrong but they might reveal a bigger issue. You may not have that or may not be like that because God wants you to be different and unique and He has a purpose for that difference.
And so, love does not envy because love is fulfilled in God. Love finds its worth and value from God. Love doesn't envy because envy is difficult, its negative, it brings you down. I think Paul's words to Timothy apply to this ^{1 Tim. 6:6-7} "But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either." We've brought nothing in and we'll take nothing out- so we acknowledge the temporary nature of the things we can see and hold, and place our hope in the things unseen.
