J e a l o u s y
C e l o s
Did you know that the Greek word for “jealousy” is the
same word for “zeal”? There is a fine line, it seems, between
the two emotions.
Jealousy arises when we see someone else enjoying
something we wish we had. Zeal, on the other hand, arises
out of a desire to see other people enjoy something we know
to be good and desirable. Jealousy is self-focused, while zeal
is other-focused.
This distinction can help us understand the reaction of
some of the Jews in the synagogue at Pisidian Antioch. They
had become jealous at the sight of a large crowd gathering to
hear Paul and Barnabas preach. It upset them to see these
out-of-towners receiving so much attention and not them. All
we ever get is harassment and discrimination. Then these two
men arrive, and they attract an admiring crowd—of Gentiles
no less!
This is the way of jealousy. As we see someone enjoying
something desirable, our desire for that object grows. If we’re
not careful, our desire can turn into resentment toward that
person. And our resentment can grow so intense that our
focus shifts from the object to the person we have become
jealous of. It’s why Cain killed Abel. It’s why David killed Uriah.
It’s why some Pharisees hated Jesus. And it’s why these Jews
heaped “violent abuse” on Paul and Barnabas (Acts 13:45).
The best way to overcome this kind of jealousy is to ask God
to help you turn the tables on it. Practice zealous generosity
instead. Rather than grasping after what someone else has, give
them the gift of your prayers. Rather than turning against them,
try to be happy that they are enjoying whatever it is you wanted
for yourself. Stifle any self-focused jealousy by smothering it
with other-focused love and compassion.
Jealousy doesn’t have to control you. You can control it—
through God’s grace.
“Jesus, help me to count my own blessings and to bless everyone
around me.”
¿Sabías que la palabra griega para "celos" es la misma
palabra para el "celo"? Hay una línea muy fina, al parecer,
entre las dos emociones.
Los celos por otra parte surge del deseo de ver a otras
personas disfrutar algo, que sabemos que es Bueno y
deseable. El celo, por el contrario, surge de un deseo de ver a
otras personas disfrutar de algo que sabemos que es bueno y
deseable. Los celos son auto centrado, mientras que el celo
está centrada en otros.
Esta distinción puede ayudarnos a entender la reacción
de algunos de los judíos en la sinagoga de Antioquía de
Pisidio. Se habían vuelto celosos al ver a una multitud que se
reunia para escuchar a Pablo y Bernabé predicando.
Entonces estos dos hombres llegan y atraen a una multitud
de gentiles admiradores no menos. Todos lo que obtenemos
es acoso y discriminación. A continuación, estos dos
hombres llegan y atraen una multitud admiraba — de
Gentiles no menos!
Esta es la manera de los celos. Como vemos una persona
que goza de algo deseable, crece nuestro deseo por ese objeto.
Si no tenemos cuidado, nuestro deseo se puede convertir
En resentimiento hacia esa persona. Y el resentimiento puede
crecer tan intense que nuestro emfoque cambie del objeto , a la
persona de la que nos hemos puesto celosas. Es por qué Caín
mató a Abel. De por qué David mató a Urías. Es por qué
algunos fariseos odiaban a Jesús. Y es por que estos judios
abusaron violentamente de Pablo y Barrabas (hechos 13:45).
La mejor manera de superar este tipo de celos es pedir a
Dios que te ayude a cambiar las reglas . Practicar la
generosidad celosa en su lugar. En lugar de agarrar de lo que
alguien tiene, los regalos de tus oraciones. En lugar de
volverse contra ellos, trate de ser feliz de lo que estan
disfrutando, de lo que sea que quiera usted.. Sofocar cualquier
celos auto centrado por sofocación con compasión y amor
centrada en otros.
Los celos no tienen que controlar. Se puede controlar, a
través de la gracia de Dios.
"Jesús, ayúdame a contar mis bendiciones y para bendecir a
todo el mundo a mi alrededor."
Being a mom is like no other job in the world,
and her job is never done. Unlike a typical
8-to-5 job, motherhood is a “career” often mo-
tivated by pure, unwavering love. While she’s
responsible for so much, often it may feel as if
she goes unappreciated, or at least under-
appreciated.
Let’s reach out to all the moms in our lives to remind
them how loved and appreciated they are, and let’s honor
and celebrate them with this blessing.
Dear God, We come to you today to lift up every woman who
answers to the name of “mom.” We ask that you supply each
one with the strength they need for those difficult days. Give
them wisdom to know when to encourage and when to correct
their children. Supply them with an extra dose of patience.
Lord, we ask that you draw them close to you daily. Remind
them of their worth in Your eyes - that they, too, are cherished
children of a loving Father. We pray for contentment in this very
special calling. May every mom realize that this is a mission
from You, one that brings truly great rewards in the end.
Amen.
Ser madre es como ningún otro trabajo en el
mundo, y su trabajo nunca está hecho. A
diferencia de un típico trabajo de 8 a 5, la
maternidad es una "carrera" a menudo
motivada por el amor inquebrantable y puro.
Mientras que ella es responsable por tanto,
a menudo se puede sentir como si ella va poco
apreciado, o al menos apreciado.
Vamos a llegar a todas las madres en nuestras vidas
para recordarles cómo seres queridos y apreciados son y
vamos a honrar y celebrar con esta bendición.
Querido Dios, venimos a ti hoy para levantar a cada mujer
que responde al nombre de "mamá." Le pedimos que usted la
suministra a cada una con la fuerza que necesita para esos
días difíciles. Les des sabiduría para saber cuándo y
comocorregir a sus hijos. Proporcionarles una dosis extra de
paciencia. Señor, pedimos que usted dibujarlos cerca de usted
todos los días. Recordarles su valor en los ojos - que, también,
son apreciadas hijas de un padre amoroso. Oramos por este
llamamiento muy especial. Puede realizar cada mamá que esta
es una misión de usted, uno que trae grandes recompensas al
final. Amén.
