Jealousy

Jealousy is most common trap that human fall, I am not an exception, since young indeed, haha.

Jealousy, m... let think about any good thing it will bring.....

* + . + * ~ ~ - > NONE

Jealousy did not bring me any good thing, did not help me in any way, but I didn't know how to overcome it when I was young, no.... not until the recent years.

This Jealousy knocked at my door one day, and I opened the door. This was quite a long period of time, I kept this feeling in my heart, I did not just kept inside and stored it, indeed I was dealing with 'it', struggling in 'it', I tried to get rid of 'it', and I knew I am not alone, I can, and so I did! (Hallelujah, shout praises!)

I had many nights praying and rebuking 'it', and I had an vision, I practised to resist 'it' in daily life; I came to an article about: ''Being truthful to Holy Spirit'', that teaches me not running from my emotional, my feeling, if we dishonest to our heart, we dishonest to Holy Spirit, in this case, Holy Spirit can't do His work to help us, because we ignore that we need helps. Therefore I learned to be honest to Holy Spirit, tell Him every thought of mine.

I shared about my emotional battle victory with friends. And told a friend about the emotion we have in us is real, we can not ignore it by saying: "you have been thinking too much", 'No, it is real, jealousy may leads to a worst and uncontrolled situation", and encouraged her to see it seriously with the emotion her hubby has had.'

I am thankful for this precious experience, the struggle took me months to overcome, not by my might nor power but the Spirit of the Lord, thankful for His guidance that I may be able to walk out of it.

Reason of sharing this, because someone asked me about an incident today: ''Are you jealous about me?'', that reminds me of this experience, and I felt it is so important to share it again, that "I am not, I do not feel anything''.

I have walked out from it, and not intend to jump into it. If jealousy could make my life any better, I will be the first to practise it, but in contrary, I was once pulled in into the ring of this trap by my friend's jealousy, oh my goodness, it was really none of my business, but ...... it really bring no good! Read the definition about jealousy, and you know better....

Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, sadness, and disgust. from Wikipedia

Please do not underestimate the power of destruction that jealousy will bring. Today is never too late to stop 'it'.
