Previously we saw Esau hated his brother (Genesis 27:41), but now has forgiven Jacob. As it did with Esau, it often takes some time to have a forgiving heart toward someone who has wronged us. Forgiving those people is a requirement of serving our Heavenly Father. “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matthew 6:14-15) 

Today’s reading: Genesis 33-34
