A work of praise for The Love of God. Telling of his great love for us, and his sacrifice.
I have chosen to speak, to speak on the things that I have seen, to testify of the love of My father, I am not alone, my enemy would have me believe that there is nothing to this life, that I am one soul afloat upon a lone drifting island, If he could but take my mind he would. But in even the things that trouble me now. My mind is upon the Lord. I have not created the life and spirit that dwells within me I am naught but a willing host, I pay for my choice in this matter in tests and trials, but they don’t come to tear me down but they lift me up. My spiritual elevator, as I go through I draw ever closer to my eternal Father, I would become what he wishes me to be. If I could not make it he would not have chosen me, if I could not make it, his love would be meaning less. Since he is the creator, I was here for a purpose, I am here for a way, That is my testimony will set someone free, my life will shine upon the dark in someone else’s life and bring them out. I can not hardly describe the goodness of the Lord. I try so hard in a little bit of a way but I am working with what I have, now think not that I am making small this gift I have been given, If it accomplishes what the Lord meant for it to do. To him be the glory. I know that once upon a time, that the world held no joy, and life was but a sorry blur, in that I could only blame myself. For even as I write my heart leapt for joy, because even with that sorry state of affairs, He was there, Now I wouldn’t know that till his mercy and grace allowed me back into his fold, How close I was to death, how many times He could have abandoned me. Yet he held the door open, and when I came near, He drew me into his arms. He cried with me, as he emptied the pain within me and filled me with hope and joy. Now I at the table of blessing, and graduating to eat whole food, as my strength and experience has grown, I have expectation of work. Not for a man, but for souls, to place my efforts in the fields, to hold and protect the holy things of God, for his ways are not tarnished, and I am his, His light is golden, as I am in his eyes. Once his pleasant things of gold were substituted with brass, The sound of gold is not brass, I am not gold plated but made of gold, For his light must reflect from me, and his image must be shown. He is pure as I must be, So here I am to please him, to love him and live for him!

When I wrote ths book in 2000, I was concerned about children having access to the Internet and to chat rooms where "you can be anyone you want." Here we are many years later and the situation with children talking freely to stangers on the Internet
keep that faith strong and pure
