Read: Genesis 33
Sometimes, like Jacob we fear the ghosts of our past. When faced with confrontation, like Jacob, we try to plot and plan or try to buy our way out.
What we don't realize is, the most faithful solution to such situations is giving or receiving forgiveness.
None of what Jacob feared actually happened: quite the reverse in fact. He found unasked forgiveness. Just as we have received from Jesus.
This week think about anyone you have been rude to, or have accused because of gossip, or yelled or been yelled at and abused at without fault or so many situations that maybe disturbing you. Try forgiving those who did you wrong or ask for forgiveness of those you have wronged. To forgive, don't wait to be asked. Just do it and move on. Forgiveness begets forgiveness.
Have a happy week.
