The Story: Esau forgave

 The Story: Esau forgave by ric gustafson 


For Jacob and Esau, it was an estrangement. Jacob prayed to God ' oh God save me I pray from the hand of my brother. It had been twenty years since he and his mother Rebekah had schemed to steal Esau's blessing from their father. 
When Jacob went to see his brother, Esau came with 400 men. With Jacob was his two wives Leah and Rachel. Jacob bowed to Esau seven times. Jacob saw that Esau wanted to make peace. The two brothers embraced. They both wept.
Jacob humbled himself. Esau forgave. God blessed.
