covet???

somehow this word just pop into my mind thinking… in wat case does it consider as covet. well, 1st of well, covet means desiring something tat doesnt belong to u.  even in one of the 10 commandments, God says, "thou shall not covet". even such feeling God doesnt allow wat more to say stealling.

for me.. hmm.. lots of thing went to my mind last night, cant really sleep cuz this word keep on pounding me. will it be consider covetous when u actually like someone, but then, that someone ordy with other ppl. should tat "covetous feeling" stop straight away? will it b sin? well, it’s not wrong to be infactuated with someone…

will it b covet when u are admiring someone’s experience. sometimes i would think that, boy, how i wish u could went thru tat..

oh ya…. another one.. will it b covet, tat when u see someone having a luxorious thing.e.g. sophisticated hp.. u want it so much till u buy one for urself.. yeah, u bought the handphone urself but the feeling of wanting it at the 1st place.. does it consider covet?

most probably, it may b a no answer for those kinda situation… it’s just a glance thru, no big deal, n ppl are facing tat everyday but remember… watch out…well.. it depends i believe. to conclude, i myself still strugglin hard not to have that feeling n just be thankful for what God has given me. He has been so good to me.. thank you even for dying on the cross.. feeling of covetous, im still strugglin with.

    hmm.. i consider that as a goal to achieve, not covet. how about that? this will make life interesting…

    i agree tho, that covetousness thing, we cant escape it while we are still in our human flesh.

    Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things and revive me in Your way.
