Grace for your spirit 11-8-17

Grace for your spirit
Jacob said, "No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.  Genesis 33:10

Jacob stole Esau's birthright and all his blessings.  From that time on, Jacob was very afraid of Esau, fearing revenge.  This was a new day for Jacob.  Esau told Jacob that he needed no gift because he was blessed.  Jacob saw forgiveness, reconciliation, and love in the face of Esau, just as one sees in the presence of God.  Wouldn't it be great if people saw God in our faces ?  May we develop the compassion of God, and it will be reflected in our faces.
