Proverbs says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Including relational wisdom. Including the wisdom required to face the people who wounded you most.
Joseph's fear of God didn't erase his pain. He still wept. He still tested their hearts. He still felt the ache of what they had done.
But the fear of God reframed what he did with that pain.
Forgiveness is not the denial of your pain. It is the redemption of your pain.
And that is Imago Dei — the image of God & we are made to mirror it
That's where healing begins, says Sharmini Samuel
