Jealousy moves through my veins, tainting my blood with the sin of self-importance. Yet You are my advocate. You stand before the Father, offering a pure and acceptable sacrifice. As Hebrews 12:24 says, “To Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.” I confess I need this forgiveness over all of me.
