Growth I dont want to be like......

The older brother in the prodigal son story

Poor guy, here all that time he thought his father loved him because he was so good. Then his rotten brother shows up and Dad gives him a robe and a signet ring and throws him a party. That had to be confusing.
Then when Dad tries to tell him that he is still just as loved as he ever was. He gets jealous and cuts off his nose to spite his face.

Kinda' sounds like a certain nation.
 
Pharaoh, who lost his life because he would not listen to God's please to let His people go.
 
all started in the beginning with Cain and Abel as they were both loved, but one gave his best and the other did not and one was honored and one was put to shame.
