What do you feel most in need of today: protection, guidance or forgiveness? Do you feel you will receive it? Why or why not? (Serendipity Bible Fourth Edition, page 763).
From the springs of forgiveness flow life. While in a defensive, unforgiven state we of necessity feel defensive (in need of protection) and at a loss (in need of guidance). With forgiveness comes a peace and presence of mind that allows one to feel at home, grounded, and accepted. Therefore, a sense of forgiveness is essential for “loosening up” to a life of flexibility, accessibility, and openness. This in turn unlocks creative generosity and leads to abundant life. Such understanding is at the heart of Christianity and is the harbinger of greater productivity in any society.
