"I turn my chin music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting ready to face you
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous
'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous"

Galations 5:26
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another

To be jealous is to envy someone because of what they have. The Lord does not want us to be jealous. He wants us to have perfect love

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." (1 Corinthians 13:4-5).

It is so easy to fall into jealousy. There is always someone out there that is more fortunate than he next person.

However, the way we handle it is what we as sons and daughters of Christ need to focus on.

We should focus more on what we have and not what others have. If we are being envious of someone else, we are basically telling God that we are unsatisfied with what he'd provide us with. We should forever be grateful to God, jealousy contradicts that, solvers not envy others. Smile upon the more fortunate just as you would the less fortunate.
