Jealousy - the ugly side of Man

It's not the first time i'm blogging about jealousy, but recently, it's been back haunting me again. As a girl, we tend to claim our rights to be jealous, since we claim to be the more emotional ones. We tend to justify our reasons for being jealous...and the most common one being our need for security; of which we 'demand' or rather 'expect' our boyfriend / husband to provide. I suppose in a relationship, girls often seek for emotional security while the guys probably have some other needs. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing wrong between both of us :) and we're both secure.

My biggest vibe is jealousy and everytime i get jealous (irregardless of the cause), i would be irrational and get myself all worked up. Without thinking, I would sprout unreasonable remarks and biting comments. And after all the hype, i would realise how ugly my heart is and feel utterly ashamed.

That's why, security in Christ is so very important. If we truly believe and claim our citizenship in heaven above, there's really no reason to feel insecure. Our identity in Christ is thus so pertinent, and we, christians, really do need to believe that we are God's precious little children. At this point of my life, I guess I am still working on this aspect...to realise my self-worth. When I am truly contented with all that I am and have, then perhaps, I would find no reason to feel jealous anymore.
