In Genesis 33:4, we see Esau and Jacob's tearful reunion. Esau has completely forgiven Jacob and loves his brother. In the same way, I had had a grudge with my sister before she left for university, but after a year of her being gone, I had forgiven her completely.
To me, the story of the life of Jacob is one that teaches me this: I don't need great wisdom or bravery to be an instrument in God's plan. -
