One of the quiet lies many believers carry is the belief that honesty with God must wait until we are spiritually presentable.

For a long time, I believed in God, but I did not know Him as Father. I knew Him as powerful, holy, and distant.

You are not a stepchild in the Kingdom of God. You are not on the outside looking in. You are not loved less, trusted less, or given limited access to the heart of the Father.

If you are reading this and you keep reminding yourself of your past, replaying moments you wish you could undo, I want to speak to you gently.

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, I want to tell you something that may feel unfamiliar at first, but it is deeply biblical and incredibly freeing.
