“For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” (Matthew 10:35)
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:37)
“The father shall be divided against the son and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.” (Luke 12:53)
Anointed Joseph, son of Israel walked alone. Joseph was completely and utterly separated from the family he loved. Every one of the anointed by Almighty God; walks alone.
The life span between 1716 BC and 1606 BC of Joseph, son of Jacob/Israels life, Joseph always walked alone. Joseph was separated from his family at age 17; sold into slavery by his brothers because his brothers were jealous of him. Jealous because Jacob/Israel, his father loved Joseph so much more than his brothers. Joseph was the son of Israel’s old age, born from the womb of the woman Jacob truly loved, Rachel. When Jacob/Israel made Joseph a coat of many colors, his 10 older brothers resented Joseph. Israel trusted Joseph with much responsibility. God had a plan.
I was sold into slavery at age 17. Mr. Universe, Mr. America, Mr. Chicago sold my innocent virgin body.
God had a plan for me, Anne with an E.
My name means “Beloved by God” in Hebrew.
My name, Anne with an E, means “Grace” in English.
My Creator has written in His “Book of Life,” my name, a plan for me, Anne with an E.
I am a servant of Almighty God. The God of the Word. The Creator where words cannot begin to spell the magnificence of “The God of Love.”
Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver to the Ishmaelite traveling merchants passing by, and was taken to Egypt. Sold a slave to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. (Genesis 37:12-36)
Joseph was predestined to fulfill God’s covenant to Abraham, a Hebrew, God’s friend. (Genesis chapters 12-17) God’s covenant, His promise to Abraham was a promise of vast descendants and nations, the nation of Israel. Our Savior, our God Jesus Christ was an Israelite, a Hebrew. The lineage from Abraham to Jesus is recorded in New Testament passages: Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38.
Painful, unavoidable separations from family we love. God’s anointed are “love” on our walk through the road to life everlasting…we walk with the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit, our friends who carry us, never betray us, and never let go. “For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and FEW FIND IT.” (Matthew 7:13-14)
Joseph, my only, my only beloved brother is waiting for my hand in heaven. I’m going to be wearing that Egyptian red ring, Bob Dylan. “She Belongs To Me” song by Bob Dylan in 1965, the song written for me, Bob’s midwestern neighbor from Chicago.
Always Christian with love everlasting from Anne Fisher Foundation. Amen.
