Today’s reflection:
“If we call on God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, we know that forgiveness is key.” — Lesli White https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/christianity/3-lessons-from-joseph-on-forgiveness.aspx
In the blog post, “3 Lessons from Joseph on Forgiveness,” Beliefnet writer Lesli White takes us to the Old Testament story of Joseph, whose brothers plotted the unforgivable — his murder. In the telling of Joseph’s story, we learn that there is a purpose behind our suffering, and that forgiveness is part of God’s plan. God will forgive us, just as Jospeh forgave his brothers. “It’s never too late to forgive.”
