Joseph said … Don’t be afraid … You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish … the saving of many lives. – Genesis 50:19b-20
Actions from others turn sweet kind youth into cynical bitter revengeful, old before their time, people.
There is a way to avoid that – Joseph, in the Old Testament, did it by employing three (3) life principles:
- Living in the fear of God;
- Recognizing God used even the very wrong and painful deeds of others to work a blessing;
- Choosing to live for God’s purposes instead of one’s own
