envy - August 19

James 4:4-5
4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?

Do you ever think of God as being envious? He is a jealous God - but not in the way we think of. God desires all of us because He is the only One who satisfies - He is the only One who can fulfill our every need and He is envious of anything we give ourslves to in the way that we are to give ourselves to Him. He want to be our all! Is He that to you?
