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.

Gregory, thought you might need this that was in a devotion I just read:
Thieves are jealous of each other's loot, but the godly are well rooted and bear their own fruit. (NLT) -Proverbs 12:12
Do you ever find yourself envious of other people? It is only natural, everyone does, it's part of being human. However, we don't have to act on our feelings. This verse tells us that with being strong in our faith comes the ability to create our own fruit! Of course, this is done through God. But how awesome to know we can rise above thieves, who only steal from each other, and instead can glorify God with creating fruit. -

The good thing is the knowledge & wisdom of seeing these things within yourself, recognizing it as well as seeking to do something about it, so, when it comes around again, you'll possess the power to overcome it.
