Rejoice in God’s Goodness to Others!

  Ever find it tough to celebrate someone else’s win? πŸ™ˆ You’re not alone! Romans 12:15 (ESV) says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.” It’s easy to cry with others in tough times, but cheering for their blessings? That’s where the real challenge—and growth—happens! πŸ’ͺ In the parable of the vineyard workers (Matthew 20:10-11, 15b), the all-day workers got salty when latecomers got the same pay.
