TRUTH: To rejoice at another’s good measure, will require a humble heart.

Rejoicing with another…

1. Requires us to set aside envy
Luke 15:28-29 :: But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

2. Reminds me of God’s goodness
Luke 15:31 :: And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

3. Recognizes that we are united
Luke 15:32 :: It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”

What does this mean for me?
1. Rejoicing with those who rejoice goes beyond the external
2. Circumstance does not dictate my ability to be joyful
