                                Many families have been separatedMany friends have been disunited Many kingdoms have been dividedBecause of this habitual feeling of greed

Many families have been separated
Many friends have been disunited 
Many kingdoms have been divided
Because of this habitual feeling of greed.

                          
It is as dangerous as cancer
That gradually brings your system weaker
As your body is slowly emitting serotonin
Due to self-pity, insecurity and discontentment.

                          
Coveting material things from your neighbor
It isn't healthy- only leads you to abhor
Looking at others' achievement, you're acting jealous 
Don't let the enemy defeat you by being envious.

                          
Desiring others' wife is such an immoral act
It's like a bait that you- yourself will be trapped
An arrow that's pointing to you from your hand
As it compels turmoil to a desperate husband.

                          
Sometimes God won't give all what we have requested 
For He knows it will lead us to be devastated
Being on top with wrong motives can draw  us to the downfall 
Do your mission, stay focused and remain humble. 

                          
Competing others is such a tiresome thing
Why not be glad for them instead of ranting?
Keep in mind that we're unique, we've got our blessings
Be thankful for what you have, stop complaining.

                          
If you are not faithful with tiny things that you own
How can God delegate you with bigger possessions?
Gratitude is the way to real happiness 
Wait for your turn, resist covetousness.

                          
*******************************************

                          
And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." - Luke 12:15 (ESV)

                          
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. - 1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV)
