17 - "Be Persuaded. God Will Friend You." Genesis 49-50; Exodus 1

Am I in the place of God? Gen 50:19. 

"Dare I usurp the prerogative of God." Get real.

Dare I soften those who have hurt me by killing them with kindness. Be real. 

Dare I humble myself before people and not think of humbling myself first before God. Live real. 

Benson Commentary says: "Make your peace with God, and then you will find it an easy matter to make your peace with _____." 

Oh friends, think about your own experience with the Wonderful Kindness of your God and be persuaded  He will still befriend you, whatever you've done.  

C.S. Lewis in The Weight of Glory wrote that it is far more important what God thinks of us than what we think of Him.
