One thought on “Forgiveness and Reconciliation”

  1. I cannot emphasize how much I love this article. Every time I see it, I want to stand up and cheer.

    I am in the midst of a divorce from my husband of many years, after I found out about his serial cheating and porn addiction. The story of Joseph has been a comfort and encouragement to me for many reasons through these last few years, as things came to light and the downward spiral started. But I have never, not once in my reading, seen how Joseph tested his brothers’ repentance. Until now.

    I love that! It is right and good and scriptural to test one another’s repentance. My husband has faked it for a long time but the cracks started showing and he quickly went back to his old ways, blaming me the entire time. No siree.

    Thank you for writing and sharing truth.
