For many years, I tried to be the ”perfect” Christian, but my relationship with God was lost in religion and legalism. I always found myself wondering if I would ever know what God’s plan was for me but it was hard to hear God’s voice.I realized that if I was going to know God’s calling and become who He created me to be that I’d need to grow in His knowledge and experience being a disciple of Jesus myself.
