Relate to Our Lives

Like Joseph, we all face betrayal, disappointment, or broken trust at some point. But how do we respond?

🔹 Do we withhold forgiveness and let bitterness take root?

🔹 Do we rush to reconcile before there’s true change?

"Lord, thank You for Joseph’s story of mercy and restoration. Teach us to forgive as You forgive, to wait on You with discernment, and to trust that You’re working even in what we don’t understand. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
