The lumps in our past can easily trip us up in the present. These lumps can quickly surface when facing the person or situation that caused them to form in the first place. Joseph came face to face with the trauma of his past when his brothers came to Egypt to buy grain, but through the grace of God, he could forgive them. Our past is not a roadblock that can interfere with what God has in mind for us. Through His mercy, we have been forgiven and freed from our past. When we see it in our rear-view mirror, we can fall on our knees and thank God for what He has done in our lives
