Then Joseph kissed each of his brothers and wept over them, and after that they began talking freely with him. (Genesis 45:15 NLT)
Families will never know healing and peace until at least one of their members chooses to extend forgiveness to the others. As long as everyone keeps throwing "verbal jabs," "bringing up the past," and "holding on to bitterness," the battle will rage on and the pain will continue. Maybe God is sending you on ahead so that like Joseph you can lead the others out of the hostilities by being the first to forgive.
