Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 37, Day 2: Monday, 11th September 2023. TOPIC: ENVY AND ADMIRATION: What Is Admiration? (2)

“1. And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.”

Yesterday, we digged at the definition of Envy. Today, we shall focus on the definition of Admiration. 

What is Admiration?

To admire someone means to have a deep respect, appreciation, or regard for their qualities, achievements, or actions. When you admire someone, you recognize and value their positive traits, skills, or accomplishments. Admiration can be inspired by various aspects of a person, such as their intelligence, talent, kindness, courage, or leadership abilities. It is a positive emotion that often motivates and inspires individuals to strive for personal growth and improvement.

Smile. Digesting this definition and comparing it with the definition of Envy, I believe we all know which is positive and which is negative. Now, the same reason for admiration to someone can also be the same reason for Envy to someone else, It’s a two-sided coin.

Jonathan was King’s Son but He admire the courage of David after killing Goliath. The chapter downward showed how Jonathan gave the attire of a Prince to a mire bush boy like David. To experience breakthrough from limitation you have to admire those who are ahead and not Envy them because positivity attract positivity. Think this things, are you a product of Envy or Admiration? Let’s meet tomorrow as we discuss on thees traits the more.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today.
