Harbor

Book: James
Chapter:3
Verse: 14
Phrase: If you harbor bitter envy...do not boast about it or deny the truth.
Word: Harbor
Thought: Harbors are a safe place to park boats and ships outside of the tempest of the sea. It is a safe place. I cannot give harbor to bitter envy. Envy is one thing, bitter envy is something else. Bitter envy seeks to bring others down. It says "I wish you did not have what I envy." Most of our envy falls into the category of "I want what you have." Bitter envy says " since I don't have it you should not either." It is vicious and has no place in my heart.
