He Has and He Will

"He turned away from them and began to weep." Genesis 42:24

"He wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him." Genesis 45:2

"Come close to me." Genesis 45:4

"Do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves." Genesis 45:5

"And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them" Genesis 45:15

"I will provide for you and your children" And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. Genesis 50: 21

Does this sound like the natural response that a man would have toward men who threw him in a pit to die? Who sold him as a slave? Who hated him so much they could not speak a kind word to him? Whose actions resulted in years of being in prison?

And we have trouble being nice to someone who has caused a momentary offense!

Surely God works in the hearts of His people. He has and He will.
