I used to ask myself this question how do you find real happiness day after day. It just seemed to be so elusive and as I looked around at other people who seemed to be so happy I just wondered why I was so different or was I?
I did not enjoy the drudgery of going to a job that I didn’t particularly like but when I began to work for myself I thought that would change I did enjoy what I was doing, and although I had some happy times there was still something missing.
I read a lot of books and decided that if I earned lots more money than that would make the difference, and then I would be truly happy and would then have peace and contentment in my life well I did earn more one year but that didn’t find me the happiness I yearned for. It must have been that I hadn’t earned enough and this went on and on until I eventually realized that no matter what I earned it just didn’t give me these real feelings of happiness and contentment not permanently anyway because of course there were the temporary highs when I was able to go cruising around the Caribbean.
I had a lovely family and yes, of course, I enjoyed life but as before there really was something missing it was like there was a vast hole in my life and I just didn’t know how and where I was going to find what I was looking for.
We all have our highs and lows in life and I think the time has to be right for that miraculous event to take place and boy that sure happened to me, it was like a bolt out of the blue and totally unexpected I had found my maker, the Lord God when I just had not been looking for him at all rather HE found me.
I just had to write my experiences down because I’ve just never felt so happy and at peace in my entire life, of course, I get some bad days, don’t we all, but they are so rare it’s incredible this record of my experiences were read by others who said that I should turn them into a book because of what it might do for others well I’ve done just that and some feedback I’ve had has made me cry tears of joy I just bless the day that Jesus came into my life.
A recent testimonial exerts of which are included below, show just why I want this book to reach and touch people who are looking for what I’ve found.
I LAVISHED your book. My life was in shambles; my wife had divorced me, and tonight I was in such a state of despair that I had rung my Mother to tell her that suicide was my only option – after reading your book I have a peace about me that I have not had since I was 19, and I’m 56 now. Thank you for allowing God to speak through you to me – I now feel complete relief from all the pain and misery I have known for the past 37 years and I thank you for saving my life – actually GOD SAVED MY LIFE, but you threw me the life preserver – may God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry.
