James 4: 5-6
In verses 5 and 6, James says that God is a jealous lover who will boy let you share your affections with anyone but him. The word jealous has negative connotations when used in reference to human beings, but it is only positive when it refers to God. When we tal about Gods love, we could appropriately replace te word jealous with the word zealous. God is zealous to recapture our affections, so the Holy Spirit works to reclaim our hearts. Isn’t that amazing? Most spurned lovers would not pursue the unfaithful spouse, but God pursues you.
Amazing
