Spiritual Warfare #9

Winning the Struggle of Jealousy by Charles Stanley
Doctors now believe that so much of the sickness and even depression and anxiety people experience comes as a result of feeling jealous, guilty, angry, hostile, and unforgiving toward others.

It is common knowledge that landmines such as unforgiveness, fear, jealousy, envy, and more take a toll on us physically. We must work through these emotional landmines or face the consequences, which usually show up in our physical health.

Often when we are tempted to become jealous, we are afraid that someone will take our place. There is a possessiveness hidden within jealousy that is very dangerous.

I have to stop short today. Lots to do in a short amount of time. Things are moving along with the remodel. We are waiting for revised plans and yesterday we locked in our loan. It was the first time that I didn't get a call that said, the rate just went up another 1/8 or 1/4 of a percent, but instead got a call that it went down 1/8 of a point! That's what happens when your mortgage broker is a Christian! Have a great Saturday!
