Envy, and not satisfaction.
Jealousy, and not contentment.
Pride, and not humility.
Fear, and not trust.
Strength, tainted by insecurity.
Joy, upended by anxiety.
Determination, driven by guilt.
Conduct, riddled with shame.
Love, without lasting patience.
Love, without gracious kindness.
Love, without tender gentleness.
Love, without honest truth.
