This short read and Bible Study & Reflection is intended to unpack and instigate a re-thinking of seven common misunderstandings ("Things") that many new and renewed believers struggle with as they begin to dedicate, or re-dedicate, themselves to opening their hearts to God's amazing and deep love. As we take this journey, we open the way to following the plan God has for each of our lives. If I had understood these "7 Things" sooner, I would have found myself moved by the Holy Spirit to more intentionally share the most incredible story ever told. Like many, the likelihood is that I did know and just needed our loving Father to bear with me as I took the long way around to the beautiful journey that this book reveals from cover to cover. In this book I share the Biblical truths about "7 Things" that the world has tricked people into believing the exact opposite about. Understanding these truths from a Biblical perspective will offer opportunity in finding your way to a fully intimate and fully trustworthy relationship with the One True God. My prayer is that as you read these words and the confirming Word of God you will find the courage to believe in the ultimate love God has for you, that you discover how He truly sees you, and that you continue or begin to move towards the plan He has for your life to further the Kingdom, too. His plan is good and will give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). If you haven't asked Jesus into your heart to be the Lord and Savior of your life, conquering the sin that has ruled over you, do it now...don't wait! When you do, the words written here will make so much more sense. In His love...Enjoy!
