Genesis 45...

The day we have all been looking forward to is finally here. Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers. I laughed a little when at first the boys were reluctant to come close for fear of Joseph's wrath.

Instead of bitterness that leads to vengance, Joseph chose compassion that leads to love.

What a powerful weapon we have in this thing called love. It can change everything in a second, it can over ride years of hurt and lingering anger. Love has the ability to heal wounds that have been hemoraging for months and years.

I love Joseph's choice to feed the beast of love. Even though we could have read that he killed his brothers and some how in a very fallen way, we would have understood.

Thank God, that He is both loving and just to forgive us of sins we so wrecklessly committ against Him.

Heart & Soul,
