The older brother

Do not be the older brother, who resents his father's love for his brother, the prodigal son. "Lo these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!" --Luke 15:29-30

When your brother who was dead comes back to life, who was lost is found, rejoice with the Father! He has promised "Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours." --Luke 15:31 Be content, and make merry that now your brother, too, may be with his Father.
