Overcoming Envy - Tilly Dillehay

[@gloriasihlis7679]

Tilly is such a beautiful woman. A quiet and gentle spirit. God bless her.

I've watched so many of these episodes over the last few years and always come away deeply encouraged. You guys just do an incredible job interviewing and so proud of you Tilly. You communicate with such clarity and vibrancy and I hope this will encourage many.

She is a picture of grace, gentleness and temperance. Great interview.

Thank you for sharing. This has helped me. I have struggled with envy since childhood and it has kept me angry. I get angry and resentful when I see other women with the things (tangible and intangible) I want: close relationships, belongingness, favor, love, mom, dad, close knit family, sisterlike friendships. I get angry because I didn't and still don't have that. I see green and I'm tired of seeing green.

I have a little different perspective having watched this family from a distance since college. I have always been envious of having not been the kind of parent that Morgan and Mel have been to Tilly and the rest of their children. What an awesome family and so great to see how God is using this family to do His work. Also, feeling old to see them all grow up and having lives of great impact. Wish you the very best with your book Tilly.

Thank you for your transparency! A lot of times position and being up front is glorified in the church as doing "big things." The "big things" are truly more about obedience. You can be obedient in the small things and receive the applause of God because you obeyed Him in the small things...the unseen things. I know what its like to envy and be envied. I struggle with that now. The loss of my father and mother who has been deceased for over 20byears...while seeing people around me have their parents...or at least one still alive???. I feel like an orphan and abandoned. Also to have family turn away...I resonate deeply with this woman. Not everyone can handle this level of realness because it shines the light on this...those we envy sometimes like that you are envious of them. Pride wears many faces. Not everyone responds the way your sisters did and I applaud them because some people pull away and tell others of your struggle to and react carnally instead of pulling you up as your sisters did. I wished that had happened when I was transparent.

How can Morgan Cryar be this old????? And that his daughter has written the female version of Screwtape Letters-WOW, I’m blown away!

[@Joyful-Heart777]

Thank you Lord for this transparency and love for you and your body! I’ll be making the donation and getting the book right now :)

Thank you

She seems like a nice person, but if these are her worst struggles....🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kathymyers7279]

I feel like the entire female body of Christ is better than me . I have withdrawn because they honestly do not recieve me for who I am. They look down on me. The only position I'm allowed to take is one of a servant. I'm cool with that.

[@michaelmarage415]

Maybe your in the wrong place, I don't know you, but I do know that the body of Christ IS NOT better than you. You are unique to the Lord. You have gifts from him that you may not be aware of. Don't be cool with just being a servant, seek what God has for you. Prays to you, and God Bless

[@gloriasihlis4932]

A servant is wonderful!! Jesus was the greatest servant. We are supposed to serve like Jesus served.

[@stickerlady1774]

I’m withdrawn totally from church as well, and would *love* to be able to serve. I’m disabled, unable to do anything, reach out, etc.😭

[@lynette4412]

@@stickerlady1774 I'm Sorry to hear abt your situation. I cannot imagine what you face. God's Grace to you...esp in your deepest, darkest moments...only God...in Jesus name. Amen. My Mom is now unable to see...don't like to use the 5- letter "b" word. This has affected everything...she has always loved flowers, gardening, beauty. She was very independent! I no longer "take care" of her. Her visual impairment and how she has reacted has caused her entire life to deteriorate... only thing I think has increased is her prayer life. Regarding you, I don't know what your prayer life is but you can still be used by God...as long as there is life there is hope. Consider how much Intercession you may be able to do (w/ the right support). Perhaps a prayer group or two... God Bless You!!

[@Joyful-Heart777]

Kathy Myers - May the Lord Jesus fill your heart with His incredible love and lead you to a church that loves Him deeply and you can be part of the body of Christ. God creates everyone uniquely and everyone has the same value in His eyes. Watch out for satan will try everything to make you believe lies about your identity in Christ. But you are a beloved daughter of the King of Kings, for He adopted you into His family through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. All glory to Him! Love you sister

This has not gone deep enough . Sin, bad. Repent. Ok.
