It's a competitive world. Often, we feel that if someone else is getting ahead, that must mean that we are falling behind. There is a temptation to resent the success of others.
But in God's Kingdom, we celebrate with others when we see the success of others. It's not zero-sum, so we can truly rejoice when we see others doing well. Here is Elizabeth, reveling in the mercy of God, giving birth to a son after such a long wait, and the community rejoices with her. Her triumph lifts up those around her, and they gather with her.
Who can you celebrate with today? How can you be part of a community that is lifting one another up?
