Day Two – Jealous Big Mouths

“A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.” ~Robert A. Heinlein

When you meet someone who tends to correct everything or seldom gives a compliment without linking it to their own self-worth, it might feel a bit like jealousy and negativity. However, if you’re journeying through life with a positive mindset, you’ll realize that the person’s unkind statements unknowingly compliment you! How wonderful is that?

Understanding the difference between jealous criticism and constructive criticism is really about being there for yourself and striving to become the best version of you.

PRAYER

God, you stated that everything you have created is fearfully and wonderfully made. Let us embrace that knowledge and grow in your glory. Amen.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.  Matthew 6:1

Lord please comfort the hearts of the lonely.  Fill their minds with fruits of Thanksgiving.  Do not let them be fooled and fools when it comes to searching for a relationship and love.  Let them see those they like as they truly are.  And when you show that those people aren’t good for them please give them your strength to move on.  But should you send them a soul mate teach them how to love them unconditionally.  Give them each what they need to cultivate the perfect love between a man and a woman.  Amen
