The Jealous Spirit

Posted on the 01 October 2021 by Latoya @latoyallawrence

There were always people who had been jealous of me and my mother. Jealous of us ever since my childhood.

There was also Jealousy directed toward my family before I was born.

People are jealous for many varied reasons depending on the individual.

My mother and I were never the jealous type. We were never jealous of anyone people were always jealous of us.

Some people believe there is a little jealousy within everyone, however, that is simply not the truth. Certain people say or want to believe that because they often reflect their own insecurities onto others. Sometimes to feel less guilty or to downplay other people.

Like I mentioned before, there are distinct reasons why people may be jealous or envious.

It is not always about how much money one has, their material possessions, their physical appearance, and so on. Though I have had some who were jealous of me for those things, but most of all people were jealous of my character, and they tried to destroy me for it.

I was everything they wished they could be. Some even tried to copy me. One may imitate yet they are unable to duplicate.

I have come across some very twisted people and there were a lot in the neighborhood I had grown up in as a child.

I was a strong-willed individual who was not easily influenced, never fell for mind-games, and never got caught up in the situations or troubles that they did.

I was incredibly unique, considered rare by most. I did not know I had a lot of rare qualities and traits. I was just being myself.

I detested jealousy and liars.

Yes, we all have told a few lies within our lives, but I am talking about intentional lies, not lies to avoid trouble or to save one’s life. People who lie as a habit, compulsion, and pathological.

Jealousy is a very ugly emotion. It is a sickness for some people.

I usually can spot jealousy.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with admiration which is not a form of jealousy. Even envy can be harmless in certain circumstances.

Nevertheless, people must love themselves and not try to find self-worth and self-value within things that are not valuable or worth anything.

One cannot bring themself up by attempting to bring someone down. They just bring themself down lower than what they already are.

The devil (Satan) loves to use people to go against one another especially against those who follow or belong to the Lord.

The devil is a liar. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. We have power over the devil. Resist him and he will flee from you if you continue to heed God’s word.
