As Christians we know that God will change our character. While you and I have yet to see Him face to face as these great men and women of old had the privilege to do, we have the Holy Spirit living within. He has brought us to life and sealed us forever. Dear Christian, I do not know the Esau in your life. I do not know with what things you are wrestling. I do not know how your are specifically contending with God nor do I know how you are trying to manipulate the situation as you trust in the things of the flesh. But I do know this: if you are His you will surrender and be blessed in your brokenness which He out of love commanded at His own hand for your good and His glory.
