Romans 12:10
"Have you ever been in a situation where the temptation for revenge was almost overwhelming? Joseph found himself in such a moment when his brothers, who had sold him into slavery, stood before him, seeking help. He had the power to take revenge, but instead, he chose to test their hearts and see if they had changed. While the brothers went through their trials, Joseph’s real test was whether he would act out of bitterness or reflect God’s love. This story challenges us to consider how we respond when we hold the upper hand over those who have wronged us. Do we repay hurt with hurt, or do we choose forgiveness? Joseph’s path to reconciliation wasn’t easy. It required him to wrestle with his own feelings of anger and betrayal. Yet, his final choice was one of mercy, reflecting God’s greater plan for healing and restoration.
