"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good..." ~ Genesis 50:20 Joseph spoke the above words after he had been through a lot. His brothers were worried that he would hold a grudge against them, because let's face it, he had every right to by human standards. However, he looked past the bad intentions, past the hurt, the pain, the wrong doings, and he saw what God did through all of those bad things. A while back, I had a bad day (to say the least).
