Let me begin by saying, this is not your typical bible study. My heart before this study and after are worlds apart. It's like night and day. I had such average expectations because of my past experiences, but God quickly set me straight. I looked forward to each study to see a new way that God's scriptures unfolded new truth into my life. It revealed my broken heart and gently put the pieces back together. God still has much work to do in many areas of my life, but I know He will love me through it. Not only have I been changed by God's word, but through the opportunity to respond to the lessons and my interaction with my precious counselor, God revealed even more truth and grace to me. "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13. I was striving to seek Him with my whole heart, yet could not because my heart was hard and unable to be wholly seeking Him. I had so much unconfessed sin and wrong thinking. He filled my heart with love and truth and my heart softened. With a forgiven, light heart, I can come to Him fully and seek Him with ALL MY HEART. Only through the love of God, my confession and repentance and God's truth would this have ever been possible. God has given me an authentic relationship with Him. All things have been and will be brought into His light and His blood covers it all. Thank you Lord! All glory and honor and praise to you HOLY name!! Philippians 1:6
