The Healing And Restoring Power Of Forgiveness: Retain And Service Your Divine Bridges

At creation, God would stand back, assess His awesome work, and express satisfaction with the result. Periodically, a perfect God appraised creation in light of divine vision, and the outcome met divine approval. All was good—until man began to fulfill purpose. Then God announced the unexpected: “It is not good that the man should be alone…”

From the moment God provided Adam with a helper, humanity has been required to fulfill destiny interdependently. No one can succeed alone.

In life, God surrounds everyone with human relationships. These relationships are your bridges on the journey through life. Every person who crosses your path has a significant role to play in your overall success on earth. Even your harvest, after you give, is channeled back to you through people. Even so-called enemies are necessary.

However, many offensive situations will pressure you to break your bridges. Yet these “enemies” may actually be obeying God in your life, just as Joseph’s brothers did. They may be persecuting you into glory (2 Kings 13:20–21). Enemies provide opportunities to sow seeds of forgiveness so that God can also forgive you.

Some of these enemies may be vital bridges, and if you cut them off in anger, you may be stabbing yourself in the leg. Many people suffer from incurable diseases or other afflictions because they were genuinely offended and chose to retain their anger. Bitterness blocks access to God’s grace, without which very little can be achieved.

Ultimately, resentment is the fastest route that leads otherwise “good” people to hell. This book reveals the healing and restoring power of forgiveness and admonishes believers to forgive at all costs. It shows how to retain and service your divine bridges.
