Jealousy . ( Psalm 139 v 23 - 24 )

Events of our childhood can have a lasting effect on us, till the day we die,a man I know who is old in years has never got over the fact,that his brother who was very disabled,got most attention from his parents.It effected his relationship with his daughter,because he could not cope with the attention his only daughter received from her mother,which was a normal attention.That hidden feeling of jealousy was always there,how do you rate jealousy?,is God not a jealous God,CP Exodus 20 v 5 .Yes, God is a jealous God,so there is a jealousy that is good .When someone tries to steal the affections of a wife it is perfectly normal to be jealous. But there is a bad jealousy  by the man mentioned,a wrong attitude entered that man as a young person,and affected his relationship with his daughter.Just to end with this thought,let us not run with our childhood wrong feelings, if we do it will effect our relationships, even our relationship with God.
