I used to ask myself this question 揾ow do you find real happiness?day after 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抰 particularly like but when I began to work for myself I thought that 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 then that would make the difference and then I would be truly happy and would then have a peace and contentment in my life ?well I did earn more one year but that didn抰 find me the happiness I yearned for. It must have been that I hadn抰 earned enough and this went on and on until I eventually realised that no matter what I earned it just didn抰 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抰 know how and where I was going to find what I was looking for.
We all have out 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抳e just never felt so happy and at peace in my entire life ?of course I get some bad days, don抰 we all but they are so rare it抯 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抳e done just that and some of the 揻eedback?I抳e 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抳e 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 thank you for allowing God to speak through you to me - I now feel a 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.
