Dear Heavenly Father,
I am praying on a situation between my Cousins and I. Right now I feel ganged up on because my Cousin L decided to get mad at me and use my wedding as an excuse to get even by saying I didn't give her a paper invitation to my wedding but instead invited her electronically to the wedding. Father I really wanted all my cousins there and I wouldn't have invited her at all if I didn't. Now my other Cousin Sue and I got together after the wedding 3 years later and Father I just wanted to see her because I love and care for her and all I got was her situation in our conversation how she had played the care taker for her sister suffering from alzheimer's disease and I better sell my tesla car and both houses and buy some long term insurance. Father I am lost and confused I always thought family was suppose to love and care for each other. I see it in other people but never comes my way. My Cousin Sue who relied a message to my Cousin Lauraine who wasn't talking to me that my son was seriously ill. I thought my Cousin's would want to know incase you called my son home they would want to say their goodbyes. My Cousin Lauraine told my cousin Sue that she wanted to see my son in the hospital who by this time got was released and as sick as he still was went back to work because he was worried about his business. And Cousin Lauraine also told my Cousin Sue that if I apologized that she would accept me back. My question to you God if I apologize would it do me any good. Things would not be fixed between us I already accept her for the way she is and hold no grudge. Should I give her an apology? I realize the apology is suppose to be good for my soul and I still love them both but their jealousy is very evil and harmful. I remember reading about this in the bible.
James 3:14-16 ESV
14. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15.This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
I hand this situation over to you Father. I have faith that you will let me know if I should apologize or not. I pray through Christ Jesus.
Amen
