Forgive Like Joseph, Because of Jesus
Forgiving someone who has hurt you can be hard. We tend to do mental gymnastics of all the reasons we shouldn't have to forgive someone, or put limits on how often we need to forgive someone before we cut them off. But God cuts out any need for overthinking. He simply says, "Forgive one another." But how can we do that? We look to the account of Joseph forgiving his brothers who had sold him into slavery in Egypt for encouragement for how we can forgive like Joseph, because of Jesus!

Or will we play the role of the "ostrich," burying our heads in the sand, and pretending not to notice? We look to an account of the life of the Apostle Paul for encouragement, and a reminder of our motivation for these hard conversations!
