博客來We live in a fallen, broken world. We’re living at a time that some would say is more divisive than the Civil War. I would love to know if I prayed hard enough, everything would magically become better. But some of us know that isn’t true.
This world won’t be able to change until the people themselves change first. The only thing worse than ignorance is arrogance and without looking at ourselves first and realizing we don’t know everything we think we do, then the cancer of false pride will continue to spread and divide our society even worse than it is now.
As someone who’s been canceled by a loved one and who has grandchildren he most likely will never meet, I know what it’s like to live with a broken heart every day. But I still have to move forward with faith, dignity and purpose of carrying The Message and doing God’s Work.
What I’ve come to realize is that my family members who divorced me and chose politics over family never really loved me. I’ve admitted this fact, have looked at my own part in the matter and know I must accept it on a daily basis.
A friend asked me recently, ＂what gives you the right to tell us what to do?＂. That’s a valid question which I had to reflect on, pray about and honestly evaluate my own motives for everything I write, say and do. Today, more than ever, I know what my purpose is on this planet. I know that helping others find their own way is God’s mission is for me. And I’m done fighting the battle between my will and God’s Will. My life is continuously better when I put my life in His Hands.
This collection of poems helped me get through the last few years of personal challenges while enforcing my resolve to become a better person. My hope is that they help motivate you to find your own purpose and reason for being here. If we all change ourselves then the world will change with us. We are all believers, disciples, and preachers. To help others find their way to God’s doorstep should be our primary duty, mission and reason for living.
May God Bless You All and I pray for this world to get better, one day at a time.
