THE POWER OF AN APOLOGY

THE POWER OF AN APOLOGY: Jacob and Essau were twins and Jacob was the second born. With the help of his momma he took away Essau's birthright [a very big deal] after Essau foolishly exchanged it for a bowl of lentel soup. Very interesting story and how Essau planned to kill him. The Lord was in the middle of it all and when the two met many years later Jacob was scared to death. He sent "gifts" to his brother [in an apology] who was approaching with a small army to do him in. The gifts appeased Essau and thank goodness it did for Jacob and his kids were the "fathers of Israel's 12 tribes". My point, an apology is something very simple but it can save a mountain of trouble. The next time we mess up and offend someone let's not "respond" to the folks now a bit hot under the collar but go to the Lord for help. He will for we represent Him [well] except when we are getting hot under the collar too. We must always live in Jesus as He lives in us by His Holy Spirit. PS This was written for me, one fourth of me is Greek and they all seem to come into the world fiesty. In anchant times the Greeks fought each other all the time or they could have been a very strong country [Under Alexander the Great they were for a "season". Any way please pray more for me. I am in need 24/7. I love you folks.
