Never let jealousy enter in

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been single or
waiting for your husband-to-be. If you allow that
evil spirit named “Jealousy” to enter in, not only are
you flat out going against one of God’s biblical
principles and potentially ruining a great friendship,
but you can also be taking a step backward without
even knowing it. There’s a reason why jealousy is so
evil. It causes people to do and say some of the most
hurtful things, all because they are envious of
something they don’t or can’t have.

Romans 12:15 says to “Rejoice with those who
rejoice...” and yes, another wedding that you’re in is
the perfect opportunity for that.

The ultimate truth is this, God is observing you very
carefully. And, before he can bless you with His best
man, He is watching to see how you respond to the
happiness of others.

We are commanded to love each other and
according to 1 Corinthians 13:4, “...love does not
envy.”

So, the next time you’re found putting on another
bridesmaid dress, tightening those pearls and
adorning yourself for another wedding, remember
to also adorn yourself in the love, kindness and
patience that is characteristic of the Fruit of the
Spirit.

You will be better off that way and your friend will
truly be able to enjoy her day to the fullest.

You may as well strap on those shoes and have fun
celebrating at the reception!

You’re getting dressed, tightening your pearls
and beautifying your self for another wedding. The
only problem is, the veil is not on your head. You’re
marching down the aisle as a bridesmaid... again. And
just like the last time, you have to prepare yourself for
a beautiful wedding that’s for your beautiful friend.

Have you ever experienced that?

There’s nothing more challenging than being in
another wedding that’s not yours. Especially when you
feel like your biological clock is ticking. “When will it
be my turn?” you wonder.

Everything within you may want to genuinely be happy
for your friend, but inwardly, it’s really a drag for you.

If you have gone through this before, or are dealing
with it now, you are not alone. There are countless
women who were in those same pretty shoes before. I
know I once was.

I felt like I was the last of my closest friends to get
married. So when a friend of mine (who I have been
friends with for over fifteen years) met her husband, I
knew what was about to happen. It wasn’t going to be
long before we were discussing her wedding plans,
picking out her dress, bridesmaids' dresses and jewelry.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I was very happy and
ecstatic for her, because like me, she saw several of our
other friends get married, and patiently prayed and
waited for her turn. And I knew there were two very
important (though often challenging) things I had to do
to really be there for her the way my heart truly
wanted to.

Recognize it was not about me

I wanted to sulk in my own single pity. I wanted to find
a man quickly. Anybody. And have him magically
appear at her wedding to be my date. Yet, I knew this
was her big moment. It was her big day. And, as her
best friend, I had to put my selfish thoughts aside and
genuinely be there as a sister to her. And so I did.

Realizing it’s not about you is really the hardest part,
because you have real feelings, expectations and
thoughts about your own special day. But instead of
wallowing in pity, let those thoughts go and focus on
the incredible life-changing moment that your girl is
about to have.

Checklist for Your Christian
Man?

There's been a lot of talk
about making "a list" of
qualities for your ideal man.
But should Christian women
be a part of the "a list" club or
not? Author, Kennisha Hill,
tells you.
