How awesome to have the angels of God meet you on your journey! Jacob recognized them and said, "This is God's camp." Jacob was greatly afraid to return to his homeland and be reunited with his brother Esau. He went to God and asked for protection for himself and his family and for favor in the sight of his brother. Then he reminded God of His promises to him. He knew the Word that was spoken to his father, Isaac, that the Lord had said, "Surely I will prosper you and make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the sea..." Speaking God's Words back to Him will increase your faith in Him and His Word. He wrestled with the angel of the Lord and did not relent until the Lord blessed him! That takes faith and perseverance! When he returned, Esau not only met him on the road, but ran to him and embraced him. God is the God of restoration and when we allow Him to restore He always does it above and beyond what we could ask or think.
