pain illuminates

let's be honest. we do grow jealous or envious of others' successes.
We cheer for them ...but we envy them
We root for them ..but we wish we were in their shoes
We admire them ...but we wish we could live that life

what's wrong with us?

It comes natural to us to be jealous, envious, or resentful. But what "illuminates" is our pain.

when we go through a horrible situation or experience (and live to tell about it). It is there that we receive something different.

...instead of envy we admire
...instead of coveting we are inspired

our pain, our experiences are a a message of hope and a message of redemption.
