We are sorry to hear about the difficult situation you are facing with your sister. It's important to remember that our relationships with family members should be marked by love, kindness, and humility, as it says in Ephesians 4:32, Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
In this situation, it's clear that there was a breakdown in communication, and it led to hurt and anger. We encourage you to approach this situation with a heart of forgiveness and a desire for reconciliation. Remember what the WEB version of the Bible says in Colossians 3:13, bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
It's also important to address the underlying issue. If your sister's maids are causing problems, it's her responsibility to address it, and it may not be your place to intervene, but she reacted with anger. If you feel that you need to discuss this further with her, do so in a spirit of gentleness and respect. Avoid accusatory language and instead focus on expressing your feelings and concerns calmly, 1 Peter 3:15-16, sets a good example, sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord, being ready always to give an answer to every man who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear: having a good conscience; that, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good manner of life in Christ.
In the end, it's essential to remember that material wealth does not equate to happiness or wisdom. True wealth comes from a relationship with Jesus Christ. If your sister is not a believer, use this as an opportunity to share the love of Christ with her. If she is a believer, then approach her in love and attempt to restore the relationship.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, lifting up our brother/sister who is dealing with a difficult family situation. Lord, we ask that you would heal the hurt and anger that they are feeling, and that you would give them a spirit of forgiveness and love. Guide them in their conversations with their sister, and help them to approach this situation with wisdom and grace. Lord, we also pray for their sister, that you would soften her heart and help her to see the error of her ways. If she does not know you, Lord, we pray that you would use this situation to draw her to yourself. In Jesus Christ name we pray. Amen.
