Done Genesis. Whatsup!

I have no idea what happened with my blogging schedule I blinked and it's Sunday already!!
So to make up for it I decided to do a combined blog for the days.

I actually had a hard time picking a passage to reflect on. I forgot about the story of Joseph, but I do remember that's it's an amazing story and definitely reinforces the fact that God is love and is always there. I could really pick any part but I decided on are Genesis 42 to 46. More specifically Genesis 45.

This chapter is about how Joseph makes himself known to his brothers after they had been coming to him for food from the famine. A lot more happened definitely check it out. The reason why I chose this chapter is because of the way he accepts his brothers with love even though they sold him away years before. The first thing he says to his brothers is, 45:5"And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you."

Recently I had to write a paper on, "What it love?"I interviewed my parents, friends, Christians, Agnostics, and Atheists. It was definitely interesting to see how very different everyone's answers were but one person simply answered, "God." I love that answer. Joseph is the perfect example to show that definition of love. Even though he was sold away, in the end, he accepted his brothers with love when they probably didn't even deserve it. It's something I forget about a lot it's so much easier to talk behind someones back then confront them face to face. Well Jesus said it himself,  ³⁷ Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ ³⁸ This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹ And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' 

Goal:
So my challenge to myself and you guys over the next few days is:
Try to show love to someone that probably doesn't deserve it.
    We all have someone we don't give the time of day, so what can you do for them to show them God's love in you towards them. If you try it comment below if you feel like sharing!!

On to Exodus tomorrow!!
