About this ebook
Suddenly, you have an epiphany and realize that you are the one holding the key that can release you from your self-imposed prison of un-forgiveness and that key is to repent of whatever wrong you have done; forgive yourself; where possible, seek the forgiveness of anyone you may have offended and then ultimately seek forgiveness from God.

This boils down to one fact and that fact is that they really don’t have a true relationship with God.
A true relationship with God takes place when we spend time with Him in prayer and in studying His word. This is not a ‘when I feel like doing it kind of thing,’ but something that we must practice daily, until it becomes a normal part of our lives. Think about it this way. You eat food everyday in order to nourish your body and keep you functioning properly and if you happen to miss a meal, within a few hours, you feel like you are going to pass out if you don’t get something to eat.
