89.Wednesday : 70 times 7 Forgiveness : An evil generation; it seeks a sign

Jonah’s Obedience and the Ninevites’ Repentance

Jonah chapter 3 verse 1 to 10, Jonah’s Obedience and the Ninevites’ Repentance.

The presence of positivity transmitting from people in a state of grace acts as a catalyst for others to seek validation and connection. This "contagious" energy, according to the broaden-and-build theory, can encourage others to look for deeper meaning. A meek heart will take the benefits and support, while a hardened heart with sinful habits will fail to comprehend this.

Luke chapter 11 verse 29 Jesus said  “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. 31 At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here.

A "hardened heart"—characterized by cynicism, bitterness, or a need to be right—is often a defensive mechanism against past hurt. It is not merely "bad," but broken, leading to an incapacity to experience joy, vulnerability, or spiritual truth.

They will not appreciate such presence because of the internal prick of conscience. Using the analytical, self-referential, and logical functions of the brain, they may find their own solutions to existence or try to thwart the positive people.

Engage with Empathy and silence is the  solution to tackle the actions of harden people.

It requires forgiveness of 70 times 7.
