Woman Dies During Surgery, Jesus Reveals Seven Reasons

Hash, I died and Jesus revealed the seven reasons why God's chosen people often prefer to stay at home.

My name is Donya. I am 51 years old and I live in a small town in rural Tennessee. Two years ago, I died during emergency surgery. What Jesus showed me while I was on the other side completely changed the way I see life, faith, and even my own home. I died and Jesus revealed the real reasons why God's chosen people sometimes prefer to stay at home rather than go out.

It may sound strange to say that. It may even sound wrong. But before you judge, I need you to listen to everything that happened to me that day.

For 28 years, I was a Christian with a very busy schedule. Sunday morning worship services, women's Bible study on Wednesdays, choir practice on Fridays. I organized church events, prepared meals for the sick, and participated in every church campaign. If someone had asked me who I was, the first thing I would have said was, "I'm a church person."

My entire identity revolved around what I did publicly and I thought that was what faith was all about. I measured my spirituality by how often I left home to attend a religious gathering. The more I went out, the more spiritual I believed I was becoming. I didn't realize it, but I had turned my faith into a calendar full of appointments. God had become another item on my to-do list instead of the center of my life.

I was so busy doing things for God that I no longer had time simply to be with him. And this is a trap that many sincere Christians fall into without even realizing it.
