God's Jealousy



“Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” Exodus 34:14

The jealousy of God and the jealousy of man are not the same; one offers redemption the other suffers shame. One is for us, the other is against us. Godly jealousy wants what is best for you; the jealousy of man says, “It is all about me!”. In His jealousy God will judge, but His judgement is right and His discipline is to bring us back to the Light. In his jealousy a man will lie, cheat or kill; his intention is never right. So when you hear that God is a jealous God do not be troubled but be encouraged instead; because if God did not love you so much He would not care when you are misled.
