Our God is a jealous God. He desperately wants our attention. When we allow the things in this world to get us so busy that we don’t make time for Him, it hurts Him deeply. Listen carefully as I explain. God is a spirit that created us in his image, both male and female. What that says to me is that He possess both the characteristic of male and female within Himself. I know that when I have gone without making time for my wife, she begins to distance herself because she is hurt because I have not invested time into her. I remember once when I was in prayer and talking to God about how needy my wife is, she just wants to be with me all the time and know every detail about every detail. I was taken back at the response Igot from Him. I felt Him say to me, ” Whats wrong with that? That’s what I want from you too, I long to hear about your day, I wait patiently for you to come to your prayer time so that we can be alone together. I want to be wined and dined by you just like she does. And when you choose other things over me, My Jealousy is kindled.” What an eye opening experience. Needless to say, that I have been working to do better about that with both of them. He loves us that much. What else can be said.
