Jealous for You...

The Lord Jesus is jealous for your love.

"For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God."
Deuteronomy 4:24

It is not that He won’t bless the relationships you have, yet He won’t compete with them either. It's not that He won’t bless your hobbies or the way you relax, but He knows only true peace and fulfillment comes from His presence. He wants all of your affection, all of your thoughts and all of your heart. 

When you struggled with past issues that you knew only He could resolve, you most likely tasted what it was like to hang onto Him for your every breath to get you through the day. He longs for you to be desperate for Him again in the good seasons of life as well. He is a jealous God. He loves you passionately, furiously, and intentionally. You won’t find what you are looking for anywhere, or in anyone else.

So just a reminder. You have been marked for His Kingdom to do great things, so nothing else is going to satisfy you. Others can get by with a tame Christianity, but you can’t.

You are marked by His love. Don’t settle for less.
