whatdoesthebiblesayabout           God has better
When loss hits your life, it's hard to believe God has something better
It's almost impossible to believe that God has something better for you in times of life-shattering disappointment.
For single people, hoping that God will turn your life around when you've lost someone or something important to you seems like an exercise in wishful thinking.
Sometimes we've so convinced ourselves that we've found the perfect person for us that our world falls apart when the relationship ends. We think we'll never find anyone again who could even come close to them.
But there's a truth in the Bible that we'd rather not discuss. It sounds arrogant, even greedy.
It's found in Exodus 34:14:
Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
Huh? Jealous? We don't get it. Jealousy is not a good quality in human beings. So how could it be good in God? Does it mean something different in his case? And how does that fit in with the idea that God has something better for us?
