He is Jealous, for me?

Exodus 34: "the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"  I read this morning that GOD is not only a jealous god, but HE is jealous for me...for me?  This made me start singing this popular Christian song that's been on the radio for sometime now.....its by John Mark McMillan

He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…

And oh, how He loves us so,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

Its quite difficult to imagine, the God of my universe, is actually jealous for the "likes of me"...but when I consider where this world often takes me...the countless times my appetite, my insatiable appetite takes me, far, far away from my God...I understand. Because when I do that, when I think to myself...."if only...if only I had this or that, or if only my job paid better, or if only I didn't have to do this..." I understand how my God is jealous....I only give Him attention, give Him   His proper due, when I am backed into a corner, when all my feelble attempts to satisfy, have come up empty...then He gets me....
"I fall so short of giving You Lord, your proper due...thank You for longsuffering over me, for never leaving or forsaking me...today You once again, give me another opportunity to live for You, give me the strength, give me the wisdom, to seize this day!"
