Livia - Genesis 4 : 6,7

Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." (Genesis 4:6, 7 NIV)

Liv said: I chose that verse because sometimes we get jealous of other people even though they didn't do anything to us. You just want what they have. If you do well you will be accepted and if you don't do well your sin will take over. Cain and Able were a perfect example. God loved what Able brought and it made Cain jealous and he killed him. How awful that the sin of jealously inspired Cain to commit
murder and then he lied about it.

Although we don't commit murder we do deal with jealousy and envy. Lord help is all to be happy for others and live in peace!!!!!
