When I look at people, I should recognize the resemblance to Heavenly Father, both spiritual and physical, placed in every person so that I would be ever mindful of my own and my neighbor’s familial relationship with Deity. Rather than cringing at dissonant connections between perfect Father and wayward child, I should “Look and behold the condescension of God!” and “Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause [and their causes] before him”. God who “made of one blood all nations of men”, gathered “together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.” Siblings, though far from perfect, are worth all the love I can give. As I internalize this, my heritage as God’s son and Christ’s disciple will shine through.
