ENGAGEMENT

• Where in your life is a tangle you've let go underground-a conflict you've kept quiet and called it peace? What has the avoidance cost you in that relationship? What might it look like to dig down and look at it honestly?

• Esau ran to embrace the brother who had wronged him, and Jacob said, "To see your face is like seeing the face of God." Where have you been bracing for wrath-expecting the worst from someone-when grace might be possible?

• Forgiveness frees you; reconciliation requires both of you. Is there someone you've forgiven but not reconciled with-and have you been carrying guilt about that, as if forgiveness wasn't real unless the relationship was restored? What would it free in you to hold these as two different works?
