Jealousy and selfish ambition does not come from God but is earthly-
What you wrote is not exactly True, but i understand what you mean.......sure.
Here is the thing.......God is a Jealous God, and i'll post a few verses for you down below.
And there is Eros Love and Agape` Love, and there is the love between a man and his wife..
Here is a truth about real love....
= It will always have some Jealously in it, as this is natural regarding God's Love.
This is not to be understood as paranoid, obsessive, delusional........but rather its a part of being in love.
You will feel some Jealousy, that is related to the one you really really love.
So does God.......He feels this about you.
Every Look closely at the 1st Commandment?
"all your heart, soul, mind, body"........ = Love God.
That is intense........so, make no mistake, this Amazing Deity, who loves YOU so much that He sent His Son to the slaughter, so that you can be with GOD, forever.
See that? That is INTENSE, and there is nothing less., with God's Love
