Earthly Envy and Pride


James 3:13-18

Who has wisdom and good sense among you?
Let his works as to clearly shine through;
If you have bitter envy within your heart,
Throw away your pride and let it depart;
For if you have desire to be with others,
Do not lie to your sisters and brothers;
It is not wisdom from Heaven but of earth,
Of Satan and your flesh right from birth;
For where envy is so you will find pride,
A desire of being better than others inside;
But the wisdom from above is Holy Divine,
Gentle and looking for solutions to define;
It is full of peace, mercy and good deeds,
Not doubting in sowing of Heavenly seeds;
For those seeds will bear righteous fruits,
Those are planted in peace with deep roots.
While envy and pride will cause it to rot,
Since it's filled with earthly evil thought;
There is no confusion in Heavenly Wisdom,
For it's the pathway to God and His Kingdom.
