We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to God

DAY 35 OF 365

Day 35 of 365

In Genesis 45, Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, offering forgiveness for the pain they caused him. This act of grace restores broken family bonds and demonstrates the power of God’s redemptive love. The Holy Spirit empowers us to extend such forgiveness, even when it’s difficult, releasing us from the weight of bitterness and freeing us to live in peace.

In Matthew 22, Jesus speaks of the greatest commandment: to love God and others. True love involves forgiveness, and the Spirit helps us forgive by transforming our hearts, enabling us to let go of past hurts.

Today, ask the Spirit to show you where forgiveness is needed in your life. Trust that as you forgive, He will bring healing, restoring your heart and relationships.
