Joseph's story demonstrates that if someone has wronged you, you'd better get on with your life. Joseph's story is filled with twists and turns but the key thread is that Joseph kept Simeon and sent the others back home, warning them not to return without their little brother Benjamin. Jacob reluctantly agreed to let Benjamin go to Egypt with his brothers, where, after further testing of the brothers' attitudes, Joseph revealed his identity to them. After this they were tearfully reunited. Then they sent for Jacob to live in Egypt where food was plentiful. So the family was restored, and their lives were saved (Gen. 43-47). Joseph could've chosen self-pity, unforgiveness, and bitterness. Instead, he chose to forgive. Regardless of your past, if you will bring it to Jesus Christ and ask for His grace, He can put your life back together so that only you will know it was ever broken. Who do you need to forgive? How will your life be different by letting go of unforgiveness? (Tony Evans- No More Excuses)
