Psalm 133:1
Can you extend forgiveness when deeply wronged? Joseph’s story in Genesis reveals the tension between justice and grace as he faces the brothers who sold him into slavery. Instead of seeking revenge, Joseph tests their character and ultimately chooses reconciliation, reflecting God’s redemptive plan. Misunderstandings and pride often divide us from loved ones. But Joseph’s example teaches unity, which requires humility, love, and trust in God’s plan. When we surrender our hurts to Him, He empowers us to forgive and restore relationships. Let this story remind you to seek peace in strained relationships. Lean on God for the strength to forgive and show grace, trusting He can bring beauty out of brokenness.
