Continuation on Jealousy

 continued dialogue from 3/3/2021 

We often do not hear what God has to say the 1st time and then often even the 2nd time.  He has to get our attention.  Below is a continued dialogue from yesterday with God. 

Me:  Lord, my own fruit

Is my pursuit.
It does not compare
and hard to watch and bear.

Envy blends into desire;

My heart burns on fire.

Discontent seems my lot,

Having not what I think I ought.

Greed goes before my need.

Pride has cried.

In hopelessness, frozen;

With wealth, others you have chosen. 

I struggle to climb.

O Lord, when is my time? 

God: Listen to My words and what I say.

Let your heart renew-become light and gay.

Be wise not in other's eyes,

Then discontent dies.  

Envy, self-seeking leaves you reeking-

A heart discouraged and breaking.

Look around!

Open your eyes to what abounds.

It's me you resent 

For provisions, to others, I have sent.

Think! You have your own-

Do not groan.

Turn, repent!

Change your mindset,

There are blessings you get.

Again I say, Enjoy your own fruit;

Let me be your pursuit.

Look inward; I am your reward.

Stay in accord.  

I repeat, Focus on me.

Remove your blinding chains and see.
