The next day, Jacob was finally reunited with his brother. He and his whole family bowed before Esau repeatedly as they saw Esau and his household approaching in the distance, and Esau ran to meet him, embraced him and wept as he was reconciled with his brother. God answered Jacob’s prayer and perhaps God had answered Esau’s prayer too. God longs for our human relationships to be healed. And God longs for our relationship with God to go to the next level. And sometimes struggle is the necessary precursor to both.
