GENESIS 50:26

The path to forgiveness is hard, and the journey to reconciliation is complicated. In this 5-day plan, Wendy Alsup will walk you through the story of Joseph in the Bible to help you move toward forgiveness with faith and hope in your relationships.

Draw inspiration from Joseph's incredible life story. From embracing dreams to navigating adversity, each reflection guides you to apply timeless principle-hacks to your own life experience. Discover the extraordinary within the ordinary and unlock a deeper understanding of how God intricately weaves purpose into your everyday life.

I imagine if you are reading this plan it is because you too have lost a dear loved one. The empty void has a way of rearing the ugly head of grief and putting a fog over those left behind. I too have battled grief and as I write this devotional, for the first time, I saw how God handled grief. Come, learn with me!

Your suffering becomes the crucible where hope is forged when you seek Christ in it. At age 26, Katherine experienced a brain-stem stroke that left her partially paralyzed. After years of rehab, she and her husband, Jay, formed Hope Heals, a ministry to help those with broken brains and broken hearts. Look with them at the story of Joseph to see how God ordains the suffering of one to bless many, and how you, too, can bless others not after you suffer but as you suffer.
