Did you ever see the video of Oprah Winfrey talking about when she was in church and the preacher said God was 'jealous' - and that totally turned her off to HIM? Well, a year or two ago God laid it on my heart to pray for Oprah whenever I come across the word 'jealous.' So, you have caused her to be prayed for a lot this morning. <br /><em>Father, please speak to Oprah today about Your amazing love for her. Let her understand that Your jealousy is a good thing!</em><br /><br />Thanks for the prompting. *grin*Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730544154006010668.post-33998877258522874222009-11-22T08:12:21.477-08:002009-11-22T08:12:21.477-08:00Maybe embracing the love of God is so difficult be...Maybe embracing the love of God is so difficult because we seek to know it with our heads and not our hearts. Our head is simply incompetent in dealing with pain and the hardships of life.. trusting God in these times is an issue of the heart.. that beautiful new heart that He gave us :)kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730544154006010668.post-48515728068639238342009-11-21T17:57:41.108-08:002009-11-21T17:57:41.108-08:00So much truth!

The sad thing was that I allowed it to keep me from operating in mine! The Lord brought a Prophetic Word to me and pointed it out and WOW It touched me deep! I had to repent for my jealousy! Now I can see others and I am thankful that together we each are a necessary part of the body and working together to accomplish HIS WILL :)<br /><br />Love ya!

The freedom that knowing God loves us brin...Daveda,<br />The freedom that knowing God loves us brings can enable us to be happy for anyone who has been abundantly blessed in an area that we long to be blessed in as well. You are so right that jealousy stems from thinking that we are not going to be able to get a blessing that compares to what we are seeing someone else receive. We are thinking that God is doing something for someone else that He is not going to do for us. As we become aware of those lies in our heart and extinguish them with the truth of God's unconditional intense love for us, we can be happy for others and excited about what God has in store for us as well.

That is what you did toward your friend who traveled. You prayed a thanksgiving prayer for her. It is hard to be envious of one you are praying in earnest for!<br /><br />Two, learn from them. Sit at their feet. Ask them how they became so good at baseball or biblical exegesis or making friends. It is hard to be envious of someone you are learning from! In fact, you will probably become their friend.<br /><br />Jealousy and envy destroy life (James 3:16), so it is good for us to destroy that jealousy and envy in our hearts.<br /><br />Again, very good post. wbWarren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.com
