BROTHERLY LOVE
OCTOBER 22
Genesis 45:14-15
BROTHERLY LOVE
Here we have a touching reunion scene of brothers who missed each other a lot. Nothing could stop their tears from flowing. Benjamin wept upon Joseph’s neck. Joseph also kissed his other brothers on the cheeks (then, kissing was a way of showing love and sincerity), showing them he forgave them. Such brotherly love is a delight, especially to parents who see siblings quarrelling and fighting all the time.
Many young children fight and quarrel with their siblings over things. Are you one of them? They snatch toys from one another. Some even end up hitting each other. When they grow older, they quarrel over the use of their precious belongings e.g. their computer games, their stationery or even their favourite T-shirts. Such selfishness is ugly. Parents are often distressed by children who fight and quarrel. It would break their heart when they see elder brother or sister not giving way to the younger. How it warms the heart of many parents when they see older brother willingly share his toys, especially his favourite ones, with the younger ones. The older must not bully the younger.
Younger siblings tend to throw tantrums to get what they want from their older sister or brother. God will not be pleased with such behaviour. Being younger does not give you the right to getting everything before our seniors. While they show consideration for you, you must also remember to respect them by being obedient. What a peaceful home it would be if brothers and sisters could show love and care for one another. God will be pleased. Don’t wait till you lose your brother to realise how much you love him. That was what happened to Joseph and his brothers. Love your brothers and sisters for God has given them to you. God can also take them away. Show them your love now before it is too late.
I have not done these before. May I show love to my siblings in the
following ways:
1. _________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________
Thought: Love your family always.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me to always love You and my family. Sometimes I act selfishly but heavenly Father, please help me to be considerate to my brothers and sisters. This I pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
