"Use kind words, use kind actions. Ensure that although someone has hurt you deeply to the core you don't throw negativity back at them." - Wesleyne
"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?'"- Genesis 50: 15
**Title:** The Journey of Forgiveness
Joseph's story is one of immense trials and tribulations.
Sold into slavery by his brothers, he faced unkindness and envy.
His brothers, fearing Joseph's vengeance after their father's death, represent the human instinct of retaliation.
Despite Joseph's hardships, he exemplified forgiveness. When Joseph reassured his brothers, he showed that God commands forgiveness, not revenge.
Joseph's actions demonstrate that God doesn't advocate retaliation but rather forgiveness and kindness.
Joseph's journey to forgiveness wasn't easy; it took many years. Forgiveness is a process, not an overnight event.
