arghh haven't played badminton in ages and now i'm aching all over.. it's important to keep both our physical and spiritual bodies healthy, also our bodies are vessels for God so we have to look after what God has given us and not take it for granted.. if not God will take it away from us! Hmmm uni started again today, felt pretty weird because im still not used to the fact that i go to uni now..wish i was back on holidays..
Day 24.
Today i read about Joseph revealing himself to his brothers, and i'm just amazed at how he still loves them and cares for them. It's understandable to see why he still care's for his father Jacob and asks if he's still alive and all that.. but for him to even weep and cry over his brothers which threw him into a pit and later on sold him away to merchants, i just find that very hard to believe. Joseph must have been so filled with love and compassion for his brothers, because they literally threw him out of his own father's house and threw him away from a comfortable rich life to one where he had to constantly work as a servant. It must have been the lowest point in his life when his own brothers whom he went to check up on sold him away to merchants for just a few silver coins.. But thank goodness God had a great plan for him, constantly looked out for him and provided for him too... I don't think normal people would still feel the same way after the events that happened in Joseph's life which were caused by his brothers, would still treat them with such love, care, and concern.. That really is admirable and to be able to do that is certainly something a true man of God would only do.
I like what the author said at the end of the passage.
"Few people can be rejected, insulted, slandered and vilified without carrying a grudge and harbouring hatred in their hearts - but it's possible. Joseph did it. Jesus did it. And, in God's strength, so can you."
