Someone has said you should walk a mile in another person’s shoes before criticizing them. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and have their shoes! I think that’s worth a chuckle.

Cain’s emotions led him to kill his brother instead of overcoming his temptation. Unfortunately, we don’t always succeed in ruling over temptation either. So, what are the steps to true repentance and restoration?

God is always at work. Sometimes, he works in the sunlight. Other times, he works in the shadows. He is continuously writing his story in our lives. Some chapters of our story are painful, and as we will see today in Genesis 45, God is actively present during those challenging times.
