Have you ever heard the story of Joseph? If not, it’s a wild one. Imagine this: Joseph’s own brothers were so jealous of him that they planned to kill him. But instead of killing him, they sold him to work as a servant. Joseph’s life was completely derailed after that. He was thrown into prison, treated like a nobody, and dealt with all kinds of hardships along the way. Fast forward to when Joseph rose to power in Egypt. Now, the same brothers who abandoned him came to him begging for help. Joseph could’ve gotten revenge, but instead, he chose to forgive. He realized that what they meant to harm him, God used for something good. Joseph didn’t hold onto resentment, which set him free to forgive.

Today, think about someone who has hurt you. Is there resentment you’re holding onto toward them? Ask yourself how letting go of that could bring you peace. Then, take one small step toward forgiveness—whether it’s writing about your feelings or praying for help to forgive.
