—Genesis 33:4-11
by: Cheri Appel.
After spending at least 14 years, and attaining a family of 11 sons, Jacob desired to return to his homeland. One of the biggest events he now faced was reuniting with his estranged brother, Esau. Along with many gifts, he sent messengers to say he was coming as Esau’s servant. When the brothers met, a humbled Jacob and all of his family bowed to Esau. Realizing how blessed the other was, they finally accepted each other in tears. Like Jacob, have you been wrestling with the Lord about a rift in a relationship? Do you need to humbly ask for forgiveness and be reconciled?
