God's Goals For Your Roles: Devotions From Time Of Grace MinistrySample

BROTHERS AND SISTERS: TRUE SISTERS ARE KIND The closer you live to other people, the easier it becomes to hurt them. You know how to push all your family's buttons, don't you? We're all so doggone insecure that we often resent a sibling's success. By nature we assume that there is only one size pie of family benefits and that if one kid gets something nice, it automatically means a smaller slice for me. You have the power to wound deep. You also have the power to heal. Proverbs 12:18 reminds us, "Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Which issues are chafing the siblings today in your family? Who gets to go to which school? Whose kids are the biggest overachievers? Who is doing what to care for elderly parents? True sisters cheerfully praise and encourage, trusting that God will meet their own emotional needs in his own sure way. Which wounded soul in your family needs your healing words today?
