1 CORINTHIANS 13:4
That verse is easier said than done. My sister and I are very close, and I would hate for anything to separate us. I know that my sister is more popular at school than I am, and it’s hard not to get jealous of that. I sometimes think of the story in the Bible where Joseph’s brother’s were so jealous of him that they sold him into slavery. I don’t want to ever let my jealousy get that out of hand, but I know that if I ignore this feeling, it will only get worse, so instead of avoiding it, I am trying to solve it. My sister is my family, a part of me, and I do NOT want jealousy to come in between us. So, I have been talking to my sister about it, and she has been really kind. I have also been talking to God, which helps a lot!
