All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Rejoice with Those Who Rejoice.

I was sitting in my Car thinking about an email I received. The person who wrote me the Email has been experiencing some good things lately. I should feel happy for them. But instead I feel jealous I know this is has been a real problem in my heart. So, I prayed and confessed it to God.

* There is logical reasons for why I feel this way. I think you all know how it is. Whenever someone gets something you have always wanted. You think to yourself "how come that never happens for me" Soon everything inside of you turns into "all about me". You know this isn't how God wants you to be, but you still struggle with these feelings.

I think those particular situations come to us BECAUSE we struggle with them. It seems where we struggle most is where we're tested most. Eventually those feelings are weeded out. It's part of pruning.

Been there, done that. Don't stop trying to change, but the kicker is, don't get frustrated because God is the one who does the ultimate changing. If you try and fail, shrug it off and say Thank You God that You saved me in spite of my weakness.

Hi Gregory,

Your experience along these lines is wide spread over the years.

Please take your Bible, and open it to Matthew 20:20-28.

This section tells how James and John's mother attempted to cultivate an "inside track" for her two sons with Jesus.

Also notice how the Lord dealt with the matter.

And particularly notice how indignant (jealous) the other ten became (verse 24). So don't be too hard on yourself.

Greg, The most difficult part in the sanctification process is converting - "all about me" to all about God. Remember where it was first manifested?.........In the Garden of Eden........and "all about me" hasn't changed in all these years.

I'm praying for you on this my Bro.

Grace and Peace.
