5. Hession says concerning being a bondservant, "Those who tread this path are radiant, happy souls, overflowing with the life of the Lord." How would your life be different if you believed this statement with your heart as well as your head?
6. Read the last paragraph on page 89. Why is it impossible to become a humble servant without repenting over our current non-servant attitudes and dispositions?
