We have all experienced hurt and pain at the hands of others. It doesn't really matter if we invited these people into our lives or they entered through 3rd party connections. Hurt and pain is still hurt and pain. There is a great deal of disappointment when our choices result in a hurtful situation. Imagine the confusion when the hurt is inflicted by family or someone indirectly connected. That's the hurt that you just don't see coming and find it even more difficult to rationalize the cause.
Then they took him and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.
As prime minister. Joseph had all power and authority to make his brothers pay for their betrayal. It was up to him to determine if they would eat or perish in the famine. God had elevated him in spite of their actions. Although initially infuriated. Joseph chose to let it go and restore the family. Don't let hurtful actions of others make you and keep you bitter. Refusing to forgive keeps you in the pit. God will bless in forgiveness. He will elevate you above your hurt.
Let it go and heal...
Love Y'all!!!
