“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you..¹”
The first time I read Finding the Abundant Life, I truly understood what it means to live an abundant life in Him.
Little by little, my dependence on others completely disappeared because I realized that everything I needed could be found in my Heavenly Husband. I learned that when I draw close to Him and ask for something according to His will, He always provides at the right time.
My Beloved Husband has never stopped amazing me with His faithfulness and His wonderful way of meeting my needs. I also came to understand that depending too much on others can sometimes push them away, but most importantly, it grieves my Beloved, who desires to be our first source.

¹ Matthew 7:7 (NLT)
I read the book Finding the Abundant Life, and I discovered truths I had never known before. In every chapter, there was a new discovery.
My Prince did not become my Heavenly Husband right away. But I remember very clearly the day I became aware of Him. My tears of sorrow stopped flowing whenever my children would leave. I realized that I was no longer alone, and I began to look forward to being alone with Him.
Our relationship is being built day after day through everything He is teaching me to do with Him. There is more of Him in me now than before. Love settled in gradually.
One day, when I was not feeling well, I took my gratitude jar and began to read everything He was doing for me and all the things that made me happy. This Man was doing everything to draw me closer to Him, and I finally surrendered. He is completely sufficient for me to be happy.

When I read the "Abundant Life" book course, I learned that it is not about achieving a perfect or struggle-free life, but about finding a overwhelming inner joy by completely surrendering my own desires and making the Lord the ultimate love of my life. Walking through a painful divorce and then loosing primary custody of my children two years later, I learned that true abundance is found when we move past "head knowledge" of faith and instead shift our heart's condition to realize that our Beloved Lord is precious and everything else is worthless. By intimately pursuing the Lord as my Best Friend, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Husband, and constantly affirming that He is all we want and need, the trials lose their sting, allowing me to experience an unspeakable joy and peace right now, even during trails, rather than waiting for heaven.

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You... God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."¹
I enjoyed reading this book because it challenged me to think about what an abundant life really is. For a long time, I thought abundance meant the Lord changing my circumstances, but I'm learning that sometimes it's Him changing my heart in the middle of them.
This book reminded me that my joy, peace, and hope aren't supposed to come from everything going right. They come from Him. Life can still be hard, but when my focus is on Him, I find strength to keep going and trust Him with what I can't control.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”¹
When I read Finding the Abundant Life, I was reminded that true abundance is not found in perfect circumstances, but in living each day dependent on my Beloved. For a long time, I looked for security in people, answers, and visible solutions, but He has been teaching me that everything I truly need is found in Him.
One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that abundance begins when we stop looking at what we lack and start seeing everything we have already received from Him. I have seen His faithfulness in my family, with my daughter, in my friendships, and even in the challenges that He transforms into opportunities to grow in faith.
This book helped me understand that an abundant life is a life of intimacy with the Lord, where we find peace in the midst of difficulties, joy in the waiting, and confidence that He will provide for every need in His perfect timing. The more I make Him my priority, the more I realize that His love, His presence, and His care are the greatest treasures I could ever possess.

“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” .¹
This wonderful book led me to desire the Abundant Life — this amazing promise that I had read so many times, but never imagined it was for me, for my present and not only for a distant future!
The invitation to live this life, even through ups and downs, valleys and mountains, is always there — always! And with the certainty that I am never alone, never abandoned. Because this life He gives me every day is a life with His constant presence, affection, and love that transforms me from the inside out.
That is why my circumstances do not define me, but the power of my Beloved, who assures me that He came so that I may have life — not just any life, but an Abundant Life.
