Isaiah 43:18
Can you forgive someone who’s deeply hurt you? Joseph faced this choice when his brothers, who once betrayed him, stood before him in need. Instead of revenge, Joseph chose justice and forgiveness, understanding that God’s plan was bigger than his pain. Isaiah 43:18 reminds us not to dwell on the past but to embrace God’s unfolding work. Joseph’s willingness to let go of old wounds paved the way for reconciliation and redemption. His story teaches us that forgiveness frees not only others but also ourselves. When past hurts weigh you down, remember that God offers a path of healing. Choosing forgiveness may lead to restoration beyond what you imagined.
