In this lesson, the three examples of Jacob, Joseph, and the brothers give light to the complexity of family dysfunction that exists today in many families. Families that are devoid of love inevitably fall apart, as love is the glue that binds all hearts together. God is love, and therefore, a family without it has no room for God to abide in the midst. Because God is love, He can restore it when it’s lost. How He chooses to, however, is uncertain, and when He chooses is according to His time. For Joseph, love eventually returned (for those who know the story), but it took time for God to penetrate their hearts. Such is the case for the modern family. For those of us who are experiencing the debilitating effects of lost love, know that in God nothing is ever lost. In Him, whatever is hidden will be revealed and whatever is lost can be found, even if it’s love.
