One time the Lord told Ken that the greatest problem He had with the Body of Christ was our “dogged determination to correct one another.” I don’t want Him to have that problem with me! I don’t want to be always correcting other believers. That’s not my responsibility, and it’s not yours, either. “But Gloria,” you might say, “what about when I’m doing my best to walk in love, and someone just keeps on being mean to me?” Follow the example of the Apostle Paul. He never let another person’s bad treatment of him drive him off his God-ordained course. He kept ministering to people, even when they harassed him and caused him trouble. He kept choosing to walk in love and to pay “no attention to a suffered wrong” (1 Corinthians 13:5, "Amplified Bible, Classic Edition"). If Paul could do that in his situation, certainly we can do it today. The strongest people in the world are those who walk in the love of God. When you operate in His love, He takes your part. He protects you. He keeps you and causes you to finish your course in triumph. Satan can’t do those things for you. He can’t even bless the people who obey him. Everything he does turns into a curse. You can forget the stories you’ve heard about people who made deals with the devil, and because they did what he said, he made them happy, successful or rich. Those stories are lies. It’s a ridiculous concept. There’s no good in Satan, so no deal anyone makes with him will ever do that person any good. Think about that the next time he tries to sell you on envy. Remember Song of Solomon 8:6 says, “Jealousy is cruel as the grave.” Say no to that deadly thing. Treat it like the enemy that it is and run it off with what God’s Word says about love. If you do fall prey to envy sometimes and stumble in your love walk, don’t be discouraged. Just repent and let the Lord help you get back on track. He said in the Bible that all of us, as believers, are “taught of God to love one another” (1 Thessalonians 4:9). So look to Him to teach you. Let Him show you how to stay free of envy and make walking in love your supernaturally natural way of life!
