"You shall not covert your neighbor's house; you shall not covert your neighbour's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour's"
This is a verse that I have known for years. As a child I remember trying hard not to covert items. As I got older I realized you can covert experiences, things like travels, relationships. I have realized that often people can be jealous over someone's dedication to God (perceiving a closeness) or their desires to get fit, control over money etc. As a Christian being jealous can come in many forms and it settles in your heart. Sometimes you need to look at what you long for and why.
