You are open to God's promptings and that is half the battle. I see in you a strong woman who wants to improve God's way. Yeah to that!

I can think of numerous occasions where jealousy seeped in, both with my husband and other Christ followers, when I should have been rejoicing with them and encouraging.

I would...Love the honesty you share here my friend! I would have to agree that some jealousy in a relationship is natural, normal and healthy. In fact, there would be something wrong if we didn't feel jealous of others talents, looks, accomplishments, etc. at one point or another. I think it can motivate us to a higher level of trying to achieve more and do better. However, what often happens is that a person who is more prone to being jealous has a difficult time knowing when the jealousy is normal and when it is excessive. That's when we need to remember that we are exactly who God wants us to be; there is only one of us! And we are loved just for who we are, the same as we should love everyone for just who they are! ♥ <br /><br />A wonderful share Beth; what an awesome journey of love you have taken us through! <br />God bless you sister!<br />Denise ♥ <br /><br />Denisehttp://refinemelord.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-10790870883614701932014-06-11T22:52:23.192-05:002014-06-11T22:52:23.192-05:00Oh Beth- Wow, great post.

Our enemy would like to have us envious - while our Savior wants us grateful for the particular niche He has placed us in.<br /><br />One other thought - when I think of the love it took for Him to die on the cross for me - it's overwhelming. I wonder, when He uttered "It is finished" - might He also have thought this: "You, Sharon (or Beth or anyone else), are the one thing missing for Me."<br /><br />He is a jealous God in every best meaning of that word.
