From the book “Truth For Today: A Daily Touch of God’s Grace” by John F. MacArthur

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.  -Romans 12:15

At first glance, the concept of sharing someone else’s joy seems easy enough to accept. But when that person’s blessings, honor, and welfare come at your expense or perhaps make your circumstances appear unsatisfying by comparison, you naturally want to be resentful or jealous rather than happy.

However, it is distinctively Christian for you to rejoice in the good circumstances and rewards of others—especially other Christians—no matter what your own situation might be. “If one member is honored,, all the members rejoice with it” (1 Corinthians 12:26).
