GOD MEANS IT FOR GOOD
PART LXIII
"After I, Joseph, the so-called "Egyptian" official, had spoken with my brothers about the need for my father to come to Egypt, I turned to my youngest brother Benjamin... He has changed.... That is not too surprising since he was only little when I was taken to Egypt.... I embraced him.... And we both wept.... I then turned to my other brothers... I did not say anything.... I just embraced each one... And I wept over each one of them...Words cannot express what I felt when I embraced them... But my tears said it all..... Tears that had been locked up on the inside of me for many, many years... They were finally shed... Only then did we sit down and talk... It was good to hear all the news of my family... In all my years in Egypt I had never dared to imagine that one day I would have a conversation with them.... After all, I had become a slave in Egypt.... They were shepherds in Canaan... Humanly speaking it would, therefore, be impossible for us to ever meet up again....But God has made the impossible possible....I can only thank Him for His goodness."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that Joseph turns to his brothers and weeps over each one of them as he embraces them...
