Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him. When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.

This is indeed the peace we need.. thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy first time here from Katie's site! Such a peaceful image, Ann! And, yes, I think on that scripture daily ... and of His peace. It takes effort to keep our mind steadfast with all the busy-ness in our lives, but somehow it happens, and I am grateful! Where would we be, what would our lives be like without that strong high tower to run to! That's where we find the rest we so need ... only in His presence!! Your site is wonderful with so much to check out ... my first stop, 'The Happy Wives Club' that I noticed down there in the left hand corner! I love quotes - especially positive ones!! :) You have a blessed week, and I look forward to visiting again!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found me Deborah! I also so thankful for God's peace that passes all understanding! You'll love Fawn's posts at the Happy Wives Club, too! She's an awesome lady! Come on back here soon!
