As someone who has been in the world, lived for myself, giving in to the many temptations that came my way, I can honestly say that Jesus saved me – not only from the hell that I deserve, not just from the demons of doubt and fear, not simply from a life of despair. He saved me from myself, the worst enemy I’ve ever had. And He saved me so completely that not one day passes that I don’t feel the need to say “thank You, Jesus, for Your amazing GRACE!”.I started writing in my early years and gradually formed a bond between the empty page, my pen, and my heart and soul. Through words on paper I learned to give my reader the depths of my dreams, my hopes, my prayers – all the joy I feel so deeply because I know Jesus is with me through every part of my life. Because He holds my hand through the worst that comes, I feel like I’m capable of facing whatever life brings my way and I’m certain that when I offer the Christian poetry and prose that come from my heart, every word I write abides in the shadows of His brilliant light. Because I know Him, because I love Him, I’m sure that my words are meant to boldly proclaim the gospel that came to be because He hung and died on a tree, then came back to us three days later, resurrected from the tomb where they had laid Him. So amazing – is this road I’ve taken. I just have to stop and praise HIM!Because of this love Jesus placed in my heart, I know that I have been blessed with family, friends and ideas that give me more hope and more joy, more peace and more light than I could have ever imagined without the wonder of His grace. Because He faced the worst our sins could beget, I know the meaning of love that will never quit! His love is the answer that tells my spirit when to heal, what to feel, how to deal with every part of this life. Because I’ve met Him and have a personal relationship with Him, I am more alive than I could have ever hoped to be and I feel more grateful as each new day brings me closer to the end of this life and the beginning of an eternity with the One who told me to follow Him.I am so grateful for the Lord Jesus, for my family and friends, for the words that reveal my heart and the assurance that leaves me feeling more than a little blessed. I love to spend time with the Lord, to spend time with family and friends, to share my heart through my words and to give whatever I can to lead someone else to the One who silenced all my fears and reassured me that, when the time comes, I’ll be with Him forever. I’m just so very thankful – more thankful than I can say with mere words. When He saved me He gave me a light that I am meant to shine wherever I go and I hope that my light is shining brighter than the sun, with love that comes from the Son who saved me from the worst possible outcome… a life, a death, a hell that means eternity without God Himself. If you, dear reader, fail to find anything else in my words, I pray that you’ll find that light He stirred inside, the light that underscores the love that He is, the love that He gave, the love that is the root of all my praise!Read more about this authorRead less about this author
