"Why are you so angry?" the Lord asked Cain. "Why do you look so dejected?" You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right. then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master."
Genesis 4:6-7 NLV
The book of Genesis is one of my favorites it gives you contents on the beginning of all creations of life and its constructs of legacy. I was thinking about family and legacy and the rolls and personal assignments. You see our heavenly Father is all knowing and sees into the hearts of his children. Cain and Abel were both provided the opportunity to bring fourth the gifts God had assigned to them. But Cain didn't follow through in the order God wanted him to so God rejected his gift. So what happens his ego, pride, sadness, jealousy, bitterness grows in his heart. God even gave him the authority to check his self and his emotions at the front door. He was teaching him emotional intelligence but by then he was already on the edge of committing sin and end up taking his own brothers life!!
Have you ever found yourself being filled with so much jealousy and hate looking around monitoring someone else portion of blessings? Have you ever thought "Why him or her and not me!?" How come great things always happens for this person?! or "I wish I had this or that." Some times you don't even realize your practicing self sabotage and coveting someone else life. You may not say it verbally but the heart reveals everything. Its important to grab a hold all emotions and shut down corrupted thoughts of the enemy. We all have special gifts and talents store up in high places. But in order to activate them we must be obedient to our heavenly fathers instructions. We must repent from our personal demises and comparisons and follow the calling of life and purpose. You don't want end up like Cain focus on the fruit God has assigned for YOU to bear.
AND........
Allow the Lord to transform your heart.
