"The Brothers Wept Together"
Genesis 33:1-4
It is refreshing to see Esau's change of heart when the two brothers meet again. The bitterness over losing his birthright and blessing seems gone. Instead, Esau was content with what he had. Jacob even exclaimed how great it was to see his brother obviously pleased with him.
Life can bring us some bad situations. We can feel cheated, as Esau did, but we don't have to remain bitter. We can remove bitterness from our lives by honestly expressing our feelings to God, forgiving those who have wronged us, and being content with what we have.
