Joseph.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
Joseph....
Joseph….a beautiful story in the Bible about Pure Love
Also as Yusuf mentioned in The Korán in one of the Soeras
Reading about Joseph in the Bible this last time,
I noted
that this situation has a parallel in our life
as Christians, we admit that we depend on God
for our daily needs as well as for eternal life
but we are also aware that
we do not deserve his grace at all!
We are all born sinners
and have made things worse ever since
by actively rejecting or disobeying God
the case of Joseph's attitude toward his brothers
is a beautiful picture of
God's attitude toward repentant sinners
He does not pay them back for what they did,
but treats them like loved family members
His blessings are not given
according to the measure of our good works,
but according to the measure of Christ's gift
(Ephesians 4: 7)
we thank God for His unconditional grace!

Very true. We say we trust but it takes a lot to trust. Thank-you.

Reading the Holy Bible is a nice and pleasant activity. We directly gain God's beautiful wisdom. We depend on God for our daily needs as well as for eternal life because we cannot sustain without keeping trust on him. He serves us food, air water and shelter through nature. Joseph's attitude toward his brothers is a beautiful picture of God's attitude. This poem is excellently penned...5 stars!
