Jealous

Have you ever been jealous? Your boyfriend is spending alot of time with another "friend"? Your child would rather go to the movies with someone else. Your friend seems to have it all. Do you get jealous?

We serve a jealous God.

He wants your time. Does He need it? He has been before the beginning and will be for eternity. No, he doesn't need it.

He wants your talent. Does He need it?He has the greatest music ever with Him, and He has painted the greatest universes and the most magnificent mountains. No, He doesn't need it.

He wants your money. Does He need it? He created gold and silver, and owns not only the proverbial cattle but all those hills as well. No, He doesn't need it.

He wants you. He wants you to spend time with Him, use your talent for Him, and wants your obedience as much as your money. The God who made this world, who made the universe and all the stars, wants to spend time with you.
