More Than a Coat, pt. 5 - Fool Me Twice

At the end of Joseph’s story, we see a man who went from punished by his brothers to justified by God and in a position of power. But he didn’t use that power to get back at his brothers. The struggles he went through taught him things and he became more loving, more grateful, more benevolent. It’s up to us to learn from the battles we face and come out a more Christlike person. Don't make an offer you aren't ready to fulfill. Battles can only be considered lost when you learn nothing from them.With God's grace, suffering, partnered with perseverance of faith, will benefit us more than it can harm us.Our actions show others that we have changed.
