why?why?why?

Why is jealousy so dangerous?  Why does ingratitude burn me? Why do I have to be friends with someone I don't like?  Why do these emotions come on one day?
If not for grace, God's abundant grace that is in full supply to me, I would surely make each of these matters a two-fisted fight, rather than just an attack on me.  Today I am reminded that these are distractions to keep me from the One I love, the life I love, the power in me through His Spirit.  I would be miscalculating in a big way to settle for jealousy, disappointment, and lack of compassion instead of the life I've been saved for. 
Today I choose to live for You.  Thank you for supplying Your abundant grace in full measure.
