Reading: Luke 10:38-42
“She who does not love her sister whom she has seen, how can she love God whom she has not seen?” (1 Jn 4:20)
1. I decide to appreciate my sister. I will find something to appreciate in her. I will joyfully congratulate her on her success and achievements. I will praise God for her advantages. I will not be jealous of her physical or spiritual plus points.
2. I decide to seek good for my sister. I will not plan evil against her in my thoughts or speak evil against her or do anything to harm her. I will be on the lookout for opportunities to help her.
3. I decide to respect my sister. I will respect her person, views and ideas. I will show respect in my words and deeds. I will be patient when she disrespects me. I will stand by her, support her and not let her down like the daughters of Zelophehad.
4. I decide not to backbite my sister. If I talk about her I will talk only good of her. I will not contribute any negative points when others talk ill of her. I will keep silence when I have nothing positive to contribute. When she backbites me I will search myself to see if it is true and correct myself.
5. I decide not to fight with my sister. If I sense a spirit of anger in her I will hold my tongue. I will not give her nose-cuts. I will give soft replies for her harsh words. If she stops talking to me I will be the first to break the silence and work towards reconciliation.
6. I decide to express my joy on meeting my sister. I will smile, laugh, joke and share and help her get out of her ill mood. I will try to understand her other deeper problems when she is cross with me and pray for her attitude to change for the better towards me.
7. I decide to forgive my sister any wrong she did to me. I will seek God’s help when I find it impossible to forgive and forget the havoc she has caused in my life. I will ask her forgiveness when I realise that I have wronged her.
8. I decide to tolerate my sister. I will overlook her shortcomings. I will not be constantly criticising or finding faults in her. I will try to see her as God sees her. I will boldly but gently correct her sins and help her become better. I will readily accept when she criticises or corrects or chides me.
9. I decide to build her up spiritually. I will transmit to her what
I learn. I will readily give her spiritual help when she needs it.
10. I decide to preserve unity between me and my sister at all cost. I will learn to ignore minor differences and fellowship with her.
