‘The Lord your God is a devouring fire, he is a jealous God.’ Deuteronomy 4.24 Ugh. Jealous, God? What kind of a ‘god’ has such a base and human characteristic? One day God’s jealousy started to show up in my own life. Before becoming a Christian I’d done a lot of peer-to-peer listening. It’s a technique that can be learnt to exchange talking and listening with another, to process feelings and wounds from the past.
I’ve been trying to take more time to be still and listen to him, too and I have also found this to be true! Thank you for so well articulating this
