—Genesis 45:21-28
by: Linda Harris.
Joseph went beyond forgiving his brothers. He showered gifts upon them, particularly Benjamin, his only full brother. After the way the ten brothers had treated Joseph they didn’t deserve these gifts, but Joseph delighted giving from his bounty.
God also loves to shower blessings upon the undeserving. Like Joseph’s brothers, all it takes to receive grace from God is to repent, confess and turn from our sinful ways.
