“God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.”

Joseph recognized that God had used his life to save his family. Through God’s work he was able to forgive the wrong committed against him. His brothers were also able to submit themselves before him and ask for forgiveness.

We all have people whose forgiveness we need to seek out. We all have people that we need to forgive in our hearts. What is God doing in your life to allow this forgiveness to come about? Has God brought you to a place where you need to ask for or extend forgiveness. I am sure you have never been sold into slavery by your brothers; if Joseph can forgive his brothers and see God working through their evil act, then you can forgive those whom you hold something against.
