DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT: MOVING BEYOND BAD CHOICES

Baca:

"No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." Philippians 3:13-14 NLT

Thoughts for the Day

From a human perspective, Joseph had every right to be angry with his brothers. Their hostile actions toward him had led to many years of hardship. Now he was in a position of authority and strength that entitled him to do whatever he wanted to his brothers. Get even time. He could have had them imprisoned or put to death.

But Joseph didn't see things that way. He served God and saw things His way. He realized that God had used all these difficult circumstances to save lives. He recognized that his brothers had meant to harm him. But he also recognized that their actions were part of God's plan for good.

Joseph loved his brothers. He forgave them and wanted only good for them. Joseph's attitude opened the door for God's healing and blessing for all concerned.

Consider This . . .

Remember, you are very special to God. He loves you no matter what you have done. He is there for you. He wants you to put the past behind so that you can become all that he has designed you to be. Ask God's forgiveness ... learn from your mistakes ... and look forward to a future filled with hope.
