Jealousy and Love

Jealousy and love are sisters– Russian Proverb –

He that is not jealous is not in love– St. Augustine –

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretense of keeping it alive.

Jealousy in romance is like salt in food. A little can enhance the savor,

but too much can spoil the pleasure and, under certain circumstances,

can be life-threatening.– Maya Angelou –

Jealousy arouses a husband's fury, and he will show no mercy

when he takes revenge.

How To Tell You Are Jealous

You obsess about keeping that person

You find fault in everything they do

You think paranoid thoughts

You feel scared and insecure

You are sensitive to interactions

The ear of jealousy hears all things:and the noise of murmurings is not hid.

– Wisdom of Solomon 1:10 –

Should I Get Rid Of It?

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;

idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition,

dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.

Galatians 5:19-21

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to

death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

– Romans 8:13 –

But Why?

Most feel that jealousy is justified

You are only torturing yourself

What you fear most will come true

Jealousy is a dragon

Dragons hide and come to destroy

Don’t ignore the dragon

The jealous are troublesome to others,but a torment to themselves.

– William Penn –

You are still worldly.For since there is jealousy and quarreling

among you, are you not worldly?Are you not acting like mere men?

– 1 Corinthians 3:3 –

I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not

find me as you want me to be.I fear that there may be quarreling,

jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.

– 2 Corinthians 12:20 –

How To Slay Jealousy

Jealousy comes from a lack of self-worth

We must know our own worth

Our worth is found in God’s perspective

We are called “more than conquerors”

We are called sons of God

Envy is a symptom of lack of appreciation of our own uniqueness

and self worth. Each of us has something to give that no one else has.

– Elizabeth O'Connor –

For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered

as sheep to be slaughtered.No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

– Romans 8:36-37 –

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the

devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the

rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the

spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

– Ephesians 6:10-12 –
