Matthew 5:7
Could you show mercy to someone who deeply wronged you? Joseph’s story in Genesis reaches its climax as he reveals his identity to his brothers. Instead of seeking revenge, he chooses forgiveness, seeing God’s hand at work in turning their betrayal into a means of salvation for their family. This act of mercy reminds us of God’s boundless compassion. Though we often fail, He forgives us and calls us to extend the same grace to others. Mercy isn’t a sign of weakness; it reflects God’s heart and a path to healing and unity. In a world so often defined by grudges, let Joseph’s example inspire you to forgive, even when it’s hard. Trust in God’s greater plan, knowing that showing mercy brings us closer to His image and promises.
