People talk.
Some good, some bad.
Human nature leads us to talk bad about other people.
I rarely listen to the radio, but over the past 9 months I
have started listening to ESPN radio.
I used to absolutely hate listening to people that talk
about sports.
I love watching the game and finding insight, but radio talk
takes it to the next level.
Everything can get blown out of proportion.
Sometimes we are a society that likes to talk about the
problem rather than trying to fix it.
We talk about losing weight, but we don’t eat healthy.
We talk about moving towards our career we want, but do
nothing to get there.
We talk about saving money but spend it as soon as we get
it.
We like to talk.
We talk about other people, how we would do things different
if we were them and how life would improve if they did things our way.
We also have a tendency to love someone’s life or what they
have.
Jealousy is sometimes in the put we call our opinion.
Paul went and was sharing his message about Jesus.
Rather than listening to what he was saying, a group of
people weren’t happy with the fact he was talking about Jesus.
So they did this in said in Acts 17:5…
“But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters
from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason’s house in search of
Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.”
They were ticked and unhappy.
They didn’t like Paul and the message of Jesus, so they went
on the attack.
Ever feel like someone has went on the attack on you?
When jealousy overtakes us, it keeps us from growing and
becoming the people we are meant to be.
Rather than listening to what Paul had to say this certain group
of people (I’m not saying Jews as a whole, because this was a small group of
people with this faith) created a riot.
Do you think we are a society that is quick to judge and
give our opinion, why?
In Facebook, people give their opinion and they like you as
long as you say and believed what they believe.
I f you disagree, they are the same ones that say you aren’t loving,
caring, showing grace, and judgmental just for not agreeing with them.
We get bitter, protective and possessive when people sometimes
don’t agree with us.
I will admit, I will get like this at times and it’s a trait
I am trying to improve on.
Do you find yourself being jealous, judgmental, hateful,
over opinionated or u loving?
You don’t have to be this way.
You can be a different person, more loving, caring and graceful.
Which would you rather be known for?
Being jealous and judgmental or loving and caring?
Today, you choose.
Make the right decisions.
Though it all, Jesus loves you!
Have a great day!
