When I went into this study, I wasn't quite sure where it would take me. I believed that I had a good relationship with God and had held many conversations with him over issues that had come up over the years. I soon found that all the little boxes in my mind with the closed and locked doors would be blown wide open for better examination by myself and God. Those closed boxes contained the hurts, pain, resentments, bitterness, and anger that I had accumulated over the years. Today, as I complete this study, I have no closed, locked boxes. They have been opened, one at a time, and dealt with either through repentance or prayer. By being carefully led through this study with God's guidance, I have been able to become free of all these things. The heavy load on my shoulders is much lighter and I am now able to face today's issues with a better understanding of how to deal in God's way with each one. So, no more closed, locked boxes; only open communication with God, open ears to hear what he tells me and open eyes to see where the problem lies.
