Love and relationships
Jealousy
The fear of losing someone or of another person taking our place in their life.
What the Bible can tell you
Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.
Proverbs 4:23
Love is patient and is kind. Love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,
1 Corinthians 13:4
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
James 3:16
A human reading
Jealousy comes from fear and insecurity, not only from love. It is worth asking what fear is underneath and talking about it calmly, instead of watching or accusing. Trust is built with small daily decisions.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
