Pride builds walls between people; humility builds bridges. Humility is the oil that smoothes and soothes relationships. That's why the Bible says,

"Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another" 1Peter 5:5

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less... Humble people are so focused on serving others, they don't think of themselves.

In a family, acceptance isn't based on how smart or beautiful or talented you are It's based on the fact that we belong to each other. We defend and protect family. A family member may be a litle goofy, but she's one of us. In the say way, The Bible says,

"Be devoted to each other like a loving family. Excel in showing respect for each other" Romans 12:10

Confidentiality does not mean keeping silent while your brother or sister sins. It means that what is shared in your group needs to stay in your group, and the group needs to deal with it, not gossip to others about it.
