Jacob & Esau Reunited

Jacob and Esau’s reunion shows the healing power of forgiveness.

Who do you need to forgive today? After years of separation filled with betrayal and fear, Jacob and Esau’s reunion is a powerful example of reconciliation. Esau’s unexpected embrace shows how forgiveness can break the cycle of anger and bitterness, bringing healing instead. Forgiveness is not about forgetting the wrong but releasing its grip on our hearts. Ephesians 4:32 reminds us to extend the same grace we’ve received through Christ. When we forgive, we not only free others but also ourselves, creating space for restoration. Could God be calling you to take the first step toward mending a broken relationship today?
