As I reflect upon the past and the events that happened in leading me to salvation, and beyond, I have lived a very fortunate life. I have faced many dangers, dealt with many challenges, and escaped many life threatening situations, but I am able to look back and see where God had His protective hand in my life, even at times when I failed to recognise it. Jesus has been so gracious to me, displaying His love, patience, longsuffering, tolerance and faithfulness in many ways, often without my knowing it, His grace is truly amazing, beyond any doubt.
Yet i have had the privilege of using my God given talents for His glory, by being able to be an examle of excellence to all I meet, I just love to encourage people and inspire them to rise up and be all that God would have them to be.
This was the original idea for me writing as I have, to inspire people to put pen to paper and be an encouragement and inspiration to others, since we, as members of God's family, are to strengthen and support each other, especially in times of refreshing Everyone has a story to tell, some are simply explained, while others are more complex, but all have a common thread, your salvation was a miracle from God, and to undervalue that experience would be a tragic mistake. Ih ahve not had a single day go by where I have not given some thought to that sunny day back in January, 1980, when I had an encounter with the God of all creation, the impact of that encounter was so great that I still stand in awe of what happoened that day.
I trust that, by writing and publishing my books, I have been able to inspire some people to salvation, and even encourage a few backsliders to return to God with a renewed enthusiasm for the God of a second chance, but only eternity will reveal the answer. I trust that in this world that is filled with confusion, hatred, instability and contradictions, I have been able to impart a little hope to those people who are in desperate need of stable ground to stand upon. May I be so bold as to quote the words of Dr. Robert Schuller, a man who is a fitting example of integrity, and has been an inspiration to me during my Christian walk, 'God loves you, and so do I.'
