Going to get revenge? It may surprise you who is really hurt when we fail to forgive.

A Breach of Brothers

The first twin was a cunning hunter, a man of the field, but his brother was content to dwell inside the tent. The elder came in from the field weary, faint, and smelled the tempting brew of his younger sibling. "Feed me, my brother," he cried. "Not so quickly, the younger replied and stayed his hand. "Sell me your birthright. Then you may eat." (For the younger held the birthright in high esteem.) But the elder regarded it lightly, and sold his birthright for a morsel of meat. Many years later, the man who had despised his birthright wept in agony, "Bless me. O my father, bless me." And his malicious heart bred contempt for his younger twin. Oh, Esau, can't you see. Your brother could not have destroyed you. You imprisoned Jacob in your mind, yet he was free. But your malice captured you.
