Thrive digging deep & Reaching out book Review
Chapter 6 was probably one of my most favorite chapter but I have to say I love every word of this book. I picked it up at the Very Next Thing Tour with Danny Gokey, Unspoken an Casting Crowns. The lead singer of Casting Crowns "Mark Hall" wrote this book. If not for this book I don't think I would fully grasp the concept of how important our relationship with God is to him. Nor would I understand or even fathom how our relationship should be.
My understanding as Mark explained it in this book. Is to think of God like your very best friend that you would tell all too. Most people have a best friend but I am sure they have secrets that not even their best friend knows. I know that I do. Well the reason for that is because you feel even as your best friend they will judge you or even unfriend you if you shared your most intimate or dirty secrets.
God is someone you can turn to as a best friend and tell all. You confess your deepest secrets to him, accept his son Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, ask him for forgiveness and believe that he loves you. Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins, but we have to take the initiative to confess them, ask for forgiveness, then believe we are forgiven.
It's one of the reasons I have this tattoo, because I had a hard time believing I was forgiven for one of my most dreadful sins. Or the one I believe to be the most dreadful. Reading this book helped me to believe that he had forgiven me. That I could forgive myself for what I had done.
Thrive Digging Deep and Reaching Out is such an Amazing Book and I would recommend it for anyone to read. Especially if you are feeling lost in a world of Darkness and Pain wondering "BUT GOD" where is he and why is he not helping you? This book explained it all for me. If you have read this book I would love for you to leave a comment below telling me your opinion.
Below I have added the song THRIVE by CASTING CROWNS for you to listen to. It goes with this book and is one of my favorites by them. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Because we are truly meant to THRIVE in life.
