Genesis 45:4-5
So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, I pray you.” And they came near. And he said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.
Homily:
In the end, we are grateful for our experiences, if the end births a result that is aligned to our dreams.
All circumstances that exist in our lives, nudge us to a glorious end. It might be inconveniencing in the moment, but it will end in praise, if you stand firm and avoid shortcuts.
“Stand firm, and you will win life.” – Luke 21:19
