Yesterday while putting this together, I was led to see a new prank that is being done – “prank your gf by taking them to a wrong house” – that showed in a post on Facebook.

People are toying around with an emotion that is not to be played with, mostly because this is an emotion that is not really understood.

Many of us have experienced some form of Jealousy, yet with confidence I say it’s not understood because yesterday, after having sat with all that was presented, I also seen some images that presented that love is not jealous, and I have come to recognize that this is not true according to God’s word.

And now, in addition to that which was shared above, I am seeing, in my own personal relationship with God, that I now have to ask a question that many are not going to be willing to ask, yet it must be asked if you are serious about your relationship – that question is:

“Am I inciting GOD to jealousy in our relationship?”

Am I making God jealous?
Am I participating in practices that will make God jealous?
How am I conducting myself, when I am not aware of God’s presence?

Now that is the question that will ignite in the heart of those whom in the natural are single, while straightening up some who are married.

How am I conducting myself, when I am not aware of God’s presence?

You see, in the natural, some people tend to flirt. Men and women who are single tend to flirt. Some who are married flirt also when they think they can do so and get away with it. Some flirt with their words, and some flirt with their eyes. But look at what Jesus said about this.

Jesus addressed the issue of flirting letting us know that this is not as innocent as we might have thought that it was. Listen to what He said:

47 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where “‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ – Mark 9:47-48

27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. – Matthew 5:27-30

So GOD is a jealous, and He has been telling this to us from the very beginning, but we had not been paying attention.

Until today…

Now how long do people stay in relationships where there is jealousy?

If you experienced jealousy, how long did you put up with it?

What are your experiences with jealousy?

Would you want to be in a relationship where there is jealousy?
