Reflections on Jacob’s encounter’s with God and Esau in Genesis 32-33:

Until you experience the shock of actually surviving a solitary “face-to-face” encounter with God where you admit your true character as a heel-grasping, selfish, deceiving wretch, you may never get over your fear of facing your brother against whom you have sinned. But if you do survive such God-wrestlings, and even come out with the gift of a divine blessing, then seeing your brother’s face may feel like seeing the face of God.
