After arriving home alone in the days following my husband's sudden death I stood in the kitchen feeling very sad. Then a sensation of peace overcame me. A conversation began in my thoughts.
"The reason I don't want any gods before Me is for you."
"I thought it was because You are a jealous God."
"When I am first your losses aren't as devastating because I will never leave you or forsake you. I am most important in your life."
This morning I looked up 'jealous God' in my NAS Bible and it does not appear in the New Testament.
My heart is warmed again.

I know this 'Quotable Quote' I once read in Reader's Digest is not "spiritual", but I quote it here, for the sake of the SPIRITUAL
FEELING it promotes (like in your signature, "My heart is warmed again,")
: "hot popcorn clouds buttered with sunshine (or, Son-shine) " (I added that last word as my way of spiritualizing that Reader's Digest quote....
).
Warmly,
Linda
