Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional 18 September 2019 – IT ONLY TAKES ONE
Then [Joseph] fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. Moreover [Joseph] kissed all his brothers and wept over them.
Genesis 45:14-15
Recommended Reading: Romans 12:18
In relationships, divisions and arguments take two parties. But it only takes one of the parties to stop the destructive “dance” and initiate a reconciliation. The apostle Paul highlighted that responsibility when he wrote, “as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men” (Romans 12:18). Joseph took on that responsibility in Egypt when he decided it was time to heal the rift between himself and his brothers. He revealed his identity to them and assured them that there were no hard feelings for what they had done to him twenty years earlier. Their tearful reconciliation proved that it only takes one person to build the bridge that can bring warring parties together.
Are you involved in a destructive “dance”? Can you be the one to “live peaceably” and reach out for reconciliation? It only takes one.
Forgiveness is to be set loose from sins.
