LOVE IS NOT JEALOUS

JEALOUSY IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST DRIVES KNOWN TO MAN . IT COMES FROM THE ROOT WORD FOR " ZEAL " AND IT MEANS " TO BURN WITH INTENSE FIRE " .. THERE ARE ACTUALLY TWO FORMS ; LEGITIMATE JEALOUSY BASED UPON LOVE AND ILLEGITIMATE JEALOUSY BASED ON ENVY . LEGITIMATE JEALOUSY SPARKS WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE , WHO BELONGS WITH YOU TURNS HIS HEART AWAY FROM YOU AND REPLACES YOU WITH ANOTHER . IF YOUR MATE HAS AN AFFAIR AND GIVES HIMSELF TO ANOTHER . YOU'D BE MORE THAN JUSTIFIED BY HAVEING JEALOUS ANGER . IT'S ONLY NATURAL BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR HIM , AND THEN THERE'S ALL THAT LONGING TO HAVE THINGS THE WAY THEY WERE . THE OTHER FORM SIMPLE PUT IS " I WANT WHAT YOU HAVE ".. THE BIBLE DESRIBES GOD AS HAVEING A RIGHTOUS JEALOUSY 4 HIS PEOPLE --- REALLY -- PAUSE -- THE ONLY THING ELES AM GONNA ADD IS ; HE DEEPLY LONGS FOR US , DESIRING FOR US TO KEEP HIM AS OUR FIRST LOVE . HE DOESN'T WANT US TO LET ANY PERSON , PLACE OR THING , TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER HIM IN OUR HEARTS.
