Jealousy is a word with bad connotations. But I heard it explained tonight in a new light and thought I would share. We were talking about characteristics of God and one of them is jealousy. Admittedly it is one that I am not too comfortable with because in my mind jealousy is a sin so how can it be a characteristic of God? The preacher defined it this way: Jealousy is "to possessively guard what is exclusively yours." What a beautiful explanation of how God feels about us: His church, His bride.
