Other people’s misfortune is not our gain. Stop being secretly pleased with others’ losses. We are warned that a jealous and covetous heart brings God’s judgment. Rather, let us ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.’ (Romans 12:15).

"Son of man, because Tyre said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gate of the peoples is broken; it has swung open to me. I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste,’ therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will bring up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves." – Ezekiel 26:2-3 (English Standard Version)

"Lord, forgive me when out of my selfish desires I spared no thought for the sufferings of others. Help me to know Your riches are sufficient for all You love, and You distribute blessings to each according to our needs. Let me be kind and compassionate to others, especially to those going through hard times. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
