AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 13:5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed--be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, "I WILL NEVER [under any circumstances] DESERT YOU [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], NOR WILL I FORSAKE or LET YOU DOWN or RELAX MY HOLD ON YOU [assuredly not]!" [Josh 1:5] |
Bible Question: I'm really jealous of my best friend. She has a cute little family, she stays home and takes care of her kids, and they just bought a new house, and she just found out she is pregnant! Yay, right? No, Not for me. I, of course, am completely envious and jealous of her and her husband. My husband works 4pm-12am and I work 8am-5pm. So we literally do not see eachother at all. But her husband has a great job with great hours. On top of that, we're not sure if we can have biological kids because of his previous battle with cancer. It's just really hard to be happy for someone who has everything I've always dreamed. I know, I know how STUPID I'm being and how selfish I am. I know it's a sin. I guess I have little faith. My real question here is not so much how to not be jealous, but how to have total faith in God's will for me. Do you guys have any verses to inspire me? Please don't judge me, I know that I'm wrong for feeling this way. I don't know how to have faith. |
Bible Answer: Hi Samantha 432, Look up these verses on contentment... Hebrews 13:5 1 Timothy 6:7-8 Please trust God in your situation. A lot of people struggle about seeing others more blessed. God knows best and how we are to be used for His purposes. We need to put God first. Matt 6:33 My cabin burnt down and lost everything but tthe family nine years ago.... A while later a soul was saved because of our reactions towards the fire and loss. Praise Jesus! :) There's many kids that could be adopted and to share your faith with! Seedling |
