You Are Loved

When I became a Christian over thirty years ago, I brought with me the heavy baggage of self-hatred. I accepted the fact that God loved me in an intellectual way. It wasn't until many years later that I began to believe with my heart. To this day, nothing has shaken that belief loose, not even the worst of circumstances. The words of Romans 8: "Who shall separate us (me) from the love of Christ?...I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, not anything else in all creation, shall be able to separate us (me) from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus." (vs. 35;38-39) Hallelujah! Sharing my journey with the world is one of my greatest pleasures because then all can see the transforming power of love and forgiveness. Praise His Name.

I write short stories and poems about people's adversities. I make my stories funny, but at the same I include a powerful message. Most of the time no-one wants to hear the truth,
but it needs to be said. Living a Godly life is the best way to be an example for the young people.
