Esau here could have been a greedy man. He had enough, and yet he could have continually received from his brother's reconciliatory attitude and actions. Esau, however had true 'brotherly love' and told his brother Jacob: "I have enough". One of the saddest situations in life comes when someone in our family (natural family) becomes greedy. If we are not careful, need can turn into greed.
It is a very lovely testimony when the family members help one another out as necessary. Needs are met within the family - it is beautiful.
If, however, greed enters into that family relationship, it can easily progress into broken relationships within the family.
The Esau/Jacob relationship was essentially a natural family relationship, and there are things that we can learn from it for our own family relationships.
PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE KOREAN PENINSULA: What is happening between the two National Leaders is surely an answer to prayer. Pray for God's Will to be done in this process.
