Have you ever struggled to forgive someone who deeply hurt you? Joseph’s story offers a powerful example of mercy and forgiveness. Sold into slavery by his own brothers and later rising to a position of power in Egypt, Joseph had every reason to seek revenge. Instead, he chose to show mercy when his brothers came to him during a famine. How can we find the strength to forgive as Joseph did? When Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, he said, "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good." This profound statement shows that Joseph recognized God's hand in his journey, transforming pain into purpose. Can we trust that God can bring good out of our hurts and injustices? Forgiveness doesn't excuse wrongdoings but rather frees us from the burden of bitterness. How can you extend mercy and forgiveness, trusting in God’s greater plan? By embracing mercy, we not only heal our hearts but also become conduits of God’s love and grace to others.
