JEALOUSY

My Word says that My Father is jealous over you.  This means that He wants you for Himself just like a husband wants his wife for himself and wants to share her with no other man.  My Father experienced the unfaithfulness of the Children of Israel so many times throughout history.  He longed for His children to put Him first because He knew that by putting Him first instead of having other gods, they would be able to live in continual fellowship with Him.

I cried these words out loud when I stood on the Mt. of Olives and looked at the panorama of Jerusalem: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which kills the prophets, and stones them that are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen does gather her brood under her wings, and you would not!"

I long for you to put Me first in your life.  When you trust in Me with all of your heart, I then will be able to hold you close to Me even when you experience horrific trials.  I want you to abide continually under My wings.
