He is jealous for you

That statement is soooooo true. Last night, Andrew heard this song playing on my blog and asked, "Who is jealous for you?" I told him God is, then he asked, "Why is God jealous for us?"
God loves us with an amazing love that only He can possible provide! Who else is going to suffer for us, and actually lie upon a cross to be crucified? Who else can love us in the most horrid of circumstances, when we are trapped in our own cave of pride, self-pity and sin. There is ONE, and one alone that we can trust, that we can cry out to. He is jealous for US! He watches and waits for us to give up whatever it is in our life that is taking priority over Him. Is it facebook (guilty as charged), is it a relationship, is it sports, or is it achievements, work, sex, drugs, being the center of attention, always being right? Whatever it may be, He is jealous. He desires intimacy that only He can give. A security that only He can attain. It is He who loves, as only a creator can love. When I make something, anything.....from an article to gaining a new certification, I boast over it, show it off, get really excited about it and am so proud. Because I did it, its mine. God did it, we are His. His love for us is a jealous one.
