Lengthen your life

Proverbs 14:30 (NLT) says, "A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away."

The footnote for this verse in my Life Application Bible says: "If life hasn't treated us fairly, we may think we have a right to be jealous of others, especially those who have more than we think they deserve. But jealousy only robs us of our inner peace. Be good to yourself--say no to jealousy and yes to contentment."

Let's all say it together: "No - jealousy; Yes - contentment." Words to live by, today and always.
