How old were you the first time someone mistreated you and evoked your anger? Those moments and memories live large in our souls. There is something gratifying about being righteously indignant. But no matter how right we may be and how wrong the other may be, the anger and withholding of forgiveness is harmful. The first human brothers, Cain and Abel, could not get along. Cain murdered Abel. The twin brothers in today’s Old Testament story didn’t get along either. Their relationship has all the ingredients for a violent ending. Only theirs ends with forgiveness. I hope you can find that path with those who have wronged you.
