Reconciliation

 Genesis 33:4

But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept


Two truths I can pull from this verse. Jesus parable of the prodigal son. The father ran to the son. Two. Jesus wept. He wept for Lazerus. Wept is a strong word. It’s a sorrowful weep that comes from the soul. 


Now. Jesus is the  Word. The Word is alive. So. At Jesus heart is all this. Reconciliation. Reconciling of family here or there. Our choice. So. We are either Esau. The one who has to accept the forgiving. Or Jacob. The one who has to swallow pride and ask for forgiveness. 


The result was Jacob becoming Israel. He moved up quite a bit. His blessings became many and reknown. But you have to decide. Level up or level down. Forgive to be forgiven. Your choice. My choice. Make it count. Time is short. Generations are waiting on your decision. Peace.


"The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul."
