Overcoming Sorrow, Bitterness and Resentment...

Genesis 4:3-7  3

In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.  4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.

The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,  5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.

So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?

7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?

But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;

it desires to have you, but you must master it.”
