Good morning, this
is Topher from Washington Church of Christ, bringing you a positive message
minute.
When you've got four
kids like me, there is an ugly monster lurking in your home that needs battled
every day. We constantly draw the swords
of reason, speech, and love as we oppose this vile beast. It's name is "Jealousy". That's right, families have used every
cultural cliché available to excuse our exhaustion in our duel against this
dastardly demon. We say things like
"boys will be boys", or "sibling rivalry is natural", or
that "jealousy in families is only common."
I want to tell you
that Jealousy is something you can and should battle in your home, and by God's
good grace through His Spirit, you can prevail.
James, the little
brother of Jesus, says this in God's Holy Word, "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there
will be disorder and every vile practice." (James 3:16) Friends, the first way to oppose jealousy in
your home is to admit that it isn't good nor acceptable. Then begin by teaching and modeling for your
children the better skills of the Lord that include, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
(Galatians 5:22). Make learning these skills among your family's
highest priorities. You'll be glad you
did.
