Understanding The Gift Of Forgiveness

Genesis 50:19-20 I had the really meditate on this and my attitude about betrayal but it really blessed me and I had to share. 19 But Joseph replied, "Don't be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? 21.You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Family often are the ones that will wound us the most when we love them and they betray us without a cause. Many times we want to repay evil for evil but resist the spirit of revenge and overcome evil with good. You never know when your example of Christ like love will lead the salvation of your family and answer to your prayers Even my suffering has help sustain me even my pain has a purpose it brought for me my knees it caused me be humble the before the Lord. For it created a passion in me to pray in the valley past my pain and into perseverance, patience and compassion.
