Today’s Story

Tom Richter has really had it this time. He's finally had enough of Maya spending time with Grace. So he's gone ahead and hired a smooth talking lawyer.

If it's a legal issue - why not ask John Morrison. After all he's a judge!
But maybe Tom's reasons for wanting to get Maya out her bible study have nothing to do with the law.

HOW ABOUT YOU…Have you ever had one of your friends start hanging around with someone else, so you were jealous?

CHECK THIS OUT… Read Genesis 37, The story of Joseph.
This is the best example ever of how jealousy can turn into hate. Joseph was a good guy! He had a cool coat, could remember his dreams and he was his father favorite. So his brothers hated him. They hated him so much they sold him as a slave.

What's your jealousy leading you to do? Probably nothing good. In fact, jealousy often leads to major sin.

Are you jealous of somebody? Pray to God to help you let it go!

If you know of someone that's jealous of you - talk to them heart to heart about it. Try reassuring them that your relationship with them is special to you. And pray together for God too heal your hearts and friendship.
