"For while there is jealousy and strife among you,
are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?"
(1 Corinthians 3:3 ESV)
Jealousy: is an emotion referring to insecurity, fear, concern and anxiety over an anticipated loss. We do not want anyone to have the same things that we have, or to get more attention than us. We want people to notice us before they notice someone else. We wear flashy jewelry, fancy clothes, drive fast cars, live in large modern homes. We have become very materialistic. We want what we want when we want it. We do not want to wait for anything. It is time that we got back to basics. God first, family second, work and friends next. No where in this does it say that we, ourselves come first. That was started by some people that had a poor self-image and wanted to make it a point that they were important. We are all special to God, what more do we need?
