We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Divine jealousy is thus a zeal to protect a love relationship or to avenge it when it is broken. Jealousy in God is that passionate energy by which He is provoked and stirred and moved to take action against whatever or whoever stands in the way of His enjoyment of what He loves and desires. The intensity if God’s anger at threats to this relationship is directly proportionate to the depths of His love… Jealousy in God is not a “green-eyed monster” but a “red-faced lover” who will brook no rivals in His relationship with His people.

Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer – His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.
The more you read the Bible; and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it.
The value of an object is often reflected by the price we are willing to pay for it. Have you ever considered what God was willing to ‘pay’ for you?” … “God ‘ransomed’ you with the most valuable thing He had, His Son, to die for our sins. God paid the highest price possible to redeem our souls. That ought to tell us something.”
All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.
Faith upholds a Christian under all trials, by assuring him that every painful dispensation is under the direction of his Lord; that chastisements are a token of His love; that the season, measure, and continuance of his sufferings, are appointed by Infinite Wisdom, and designed to work for his everlasting good; and that grace and strength shall be afforded him, according to his need.
We are always in the forge, or on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things.
