TRUE LOVE II

All of us find it difficult at times to rejoice in the joy of other people. Yet as believers, we should be the first to rejoice with those who rejoice, especially if those who are rejoicing are brothers and sisters in the Lord. Are you having difficulty rejoicing with another this day? Is it because you feel they have received something you really deserved? Repent of such attitudes and ask God to help you learn to rejoice truly with other Christians.
After a college or professional football team beats its rival or wins a championship game, there is usually a large, collective expression of joy from the fans of the winning team. Parties will break out on the streets and in bars and restaurants all across the victor’s hometown. Fans of every age will shout, “We won!” even though they are not players on the team and did not themselves contribute to any of the plays that helped win the game. Simultaneously, the fans of the losing team are not usually caught rejoicing in their opponent’s win. Many of them might even get depressed, as if the world has come to an end just because their favorite team did not make it.
All of this illustrates the part of fallen human nature that makes it hard for us to take joy in the success of other people, especially when we think that their success has come at our expense. Are we more often happy or provoked to jealousy when one of our coworkers gets the promotion for which we have been striving or when another student earns the award we wanted? Do we not find it easier to envy prosperous friends than to be joyful about their circumstances?
We will push it Again from Here😀
