DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chron. 12-13; Ezekiel 35-36:15; John 13:31-14:14

 

These are to find grace in thy sight.    Genesis 33:8

 

Jacob was returning home at the Lord’s command. Part of that process was meeting the brother he had so badly wronged. If we are facing an Esau-type situation in our life, there are a number of lessons we can learn from Jacob. Be gracious and humble. Jacob acknowledged his fault and took the low place. Remember that when there is a genuine desire for reconciliation, grace will smooth the way. Don’t come to take; come to give. God loves to see his people reconciled. It is worth every effort.    —Norman Craig Funston

 

His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.
His pow’r has no boundary known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.
—A. J. Flint
