Jealousy


The Idea of Being Replaced 


2 Corinthians 11:2

2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.

Replace:to take the place of especially as a substitute or successor

No one likes to think they can just be replaced! Like i love hearing scriptures Luke 12:7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Knowing that your one of a kind and there is no one like you. Or how Jacob loved rachael and no one could ever take her place. She was what he wanted.When you fall in love with someone the thought of them loving someone else is scary. Not the thought of them having other people in their life but the thought of someone taking the place you hold.Like i am your husband I am your wife. I dont want to be an ex husband or ex wife. Because someone filled my shoes because you traded me in. I think about Ester Vashti was traded in Ester became a the new wife. I'll admit to jealousy because ive been replaced before. I just want to be secure in knowing that if I love someone that they love me just the same and wont ever replace me. I hate the idea because I want forever, i want to know i am rachael someones one and only and to be secure in that.

Having Confidence in Where You Stand

1 John 4:18

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

confidence feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.

So you could say that If i didn't have the fear of being replaced that I wouldn't have Jealousy.It be confident. Kind of like not having fear in love is having confident in what you have. Like Sebastian and I joke all the time him saying I replaced you. Yet I know that I am irreplaceable in his life I know for sure who i am to him, what my position to him as his friend is. He has a girlfriend and there no jealousy because i dont want that place as his girl friend just his friend. So there is no Jealousy. I know where we stand. There is no fear! We are just friends. And hopefully when I meet his girlfriend oneday she'll be confident in knowing that that is all we are.

The Bitter Soul Ruth 1:19-20   So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi? 20  And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. Sometimes you wonder how many people go to follow God trusting him that he will lead them down a good path. Yet as they follow him he leads them down roads that leave a tough taste to get out there mouth! Bitterness! Imagine being Naomi walking with God and then famine comes, her husband dies, and then her two sons die, leaving her with no grandchildren. Oh okay God thanks!Now what?  When you walk with God for sometime after a while you understand that really their is no where to run and that he really is in control. He opens doors of opportunity for you, closed doors, directs your paths, ect. Now im not saying that just because ...

Covenant! cov·e·nant     (k v -n nt) n. 1.  A binding agreement Genesis 29:15-18 15  And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what  shall thy wages be? 16  And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17  Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. 18  And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. When Jacob saw Rachael he knew that she was his wife. There was no doubt about it. You know those people in your life you just make that instant connection with and it's like wow your amazing! I mean he loved her!He didn't care what he had to do to get her so he made an agreement with her father that he would serve for however long just to have her! She was his goal and the Labor in what he had to do was worth what it was tha...

I dont Feel Like Loving You

Love is not a feeling. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Being in love hard. I know first hand. Love is a sacrifice so a sacrifice something is given up. The bible says in John 3:16 for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believes in him should not perish but have ever lasting life. He gave son and his son went to the cross to bear the sins of the world. Jesus asked before he died to take this cup from him. But he had to be the sacrifice. Sometimes love loves even when your pissed and angry and no longer want to deal. Love loves even when you have to give up something. Love loves even when its hard to love. And that ...
