🎺 Forgiving beside Genesis 50:17
When forgiving is loud, Genesis 50:17 is a sentence you can borrow. “‘You shall tell Joseph, “Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

Parent tip
If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Genesis 50:17 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
