The other day I was talking to a dear friend of mine and she was so happy to tell me that she has been promoted. She has worked very hard at being great at what she does no matter what she goes through in her personal life. Over the past 7months life had been challenging for her. She lost her mother and her grandmother, she has 3 children she raises on her own, and she is going to school to become a social worker. As we talked and I congratulated her about her promotion, the conversation shifted, we talked about the people that may not support her, the people that may think they should have been promoted.
Nevertheless, I thought about the danger of wanting what others have out of jealousy. I thought about how jealousy causes you to walk by people that you know God has blessed and you can't be happy for them because it's not you. I thought about the deception of what we feel, because what we feel is not always real..
And lastly, a few words that rung through my soul, "Can you keep what you Want"?
We want cars, homes, clothes, education, marriage, but how often do we think about if we are able to keep it. How often do we say to ourselves, " that just isn't for me"?
Romans 12:15
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep
There is no need to hate on someone else for what they have, because what God has for you is for you..!!
Prayer for this week..
Lord I thank you and adore you, Lord you are so giving and selfless, help us Oh God to see past our feelings, help us Oh Lord not to covet and harbor hatred feelings towards our brothers and sisters because of what they have. Help us Lord to trust in you and bless those that you have blessed, and pray for ourselves while we wait for our change to come.
In Jesus Name Amen!!
