Jealousy has its ways of rearing its unwelcomed head every now and then. It just so happens that it has been happening to me a lot more lately.
I've been hearing a lot lately from random people ranting about how they were so close to getting an "A". Given, I used to be the same way, but after sometime of continuous humbling in college I've honestly become a bit bitter every time I hear someone rant about this.
To add insult to injury, I've lately been reminded of what people can do and what I cannot do. At the same time, I've also been reminded of what I have and don't have. So one can imagine how bitter I am not.
But through bitterness and jealousy, I've come to realize more and more of how imperfect I am and in a broader sense how imperfect people are. That is not to say that I'm better for it. No, far from it, it is just a reminder of how much more that I have to be grateful for what the Good Lord has already given me.
