When his brothers showed up at the palace looking to purchase FOOD during the FAMINE, you would THINK Joseph would be BITTER and VINDICTIVE.

God had used all the DIFFICULTIES to get him to where he was supposed to BE.

When God gives YOU a dream, when He puts a PROMISE in your heart, it doesn’t MEAN it’s going to come to pass without OPPOSITION, DELAYS, and ADVERSITIES. There will be things you don’t UNDERSTAND.
