Jealousy

Since going to church this morning, there has been something that I've been thinking about all day. The opening line from the song "How He Loves," originally written by John Mark McMillan and most recently recorded by the David Crowder Band. The very first line of the song is as follows:

He is jealous for me

What an amazing thing to think about. The God of the universe, creator of everything, all knowing, all powerful, the one who knows each one of more intimately than we ever could, is jealous for us, for you, for me. He loves us so much, he feels jealously towards the petty things in this world that we fill up our time with rather than spending time with God. We have pushed our savior to jealously and still he loves us unconditionally and wants nothing more than for us to come to him. A simple task, yet we are to scared to leave our comfortable lives that we have built for ourselves instead of pursuing God and living an even greater life than we could imagine.

In case you haven't seen this, here is the link to the David Crowder Band music video for the song. While the video itself is entertaining, pay attention to the words too. I hope they grab your heart like they have grabbed mine.
