James 3:14 "Bitter Jealousy/ Selfish Ambition" (November 21)

James 3:14 ~ If you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.  The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.  

There is hope for jealousy, ambition, pride, selfishness.  There is hope for sin.  My hope is not securing God's pleasure by my faith and works.  Rather, my hope is to go deeper in my Christian walk and advance God's Kingdom here on earth. 

"When your faith leads to a consuming desire to love Me & others at any cost,
When your faith is accompanied by a consistent pattern of good works,
Your life in this world will not be wasted!"                   66LL
