JEALOUS FOR ME
Today's reading: Song of Solomon 7-8

"Place me like a seal over your heart, or like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, and its jealousy is as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame." Song of Solomon 8:6 NLT

God is jealous for me.

He is not jealous of me.

Not jealous of my abilities to create universes, land, sea, stars or life. Not jealous of my all-knowing powers. Not jealous of my perfection and holiness. Not jealous of my skills at changing seasons, forming snowflakes or the design I came up with for our circulatory system.

He is jealous for me--for my attention, for my love, for my commitment, for my dedication to Him and to Him alone. For my eyes to be wholly on Him.

Knowing that, I want to be watchful today as to what He sees me drawn to other than Him. I want to keep an eye out for things that distract me, persuade me, give me a false sense of security. I want to be very sensitive as to when I feel His pull back to Him. The tug of my heart to my True Love.

He wants all of me, not part, but all. There is no room for spiritual adultery in our relationship

He desires the same of you.
