Growing up, I had a lot of questions. Some of these questions were the everyday growing-up questions. You know the ones where you learn how to tie your shoes or math questions at school, etc. Yet the questions that stuck with me for a long time were the following:
1. Who am I?
2. Where do I belong?
3. What is my purpose?
4. Can I really be loved and accepted for who I really am?
5. What is life really all about?
6. How do I know if someone is telling me the truth or not?
7. And most of all, how does God see me?
If you're like me, asking yourself these questions, this book is definitely for you.
Yes, it doesn't matter how young or how old you are, the material in this book will give you the full image of God the Father in heaven as He intended led by the Holy Spirit. I do not see myself as an author but rather a scribe or secretary of the Holy Spirit. What He gives me to speak, I speak; what He gives me to write, I write. We indeed all have a purpose out there, and this purpose is mine and I'm simply fulfilling a role God predestined before the foundation of the earth to be a blessing to others and be blessed all at once. What do you think He has called you to do? So often, I believe we already know, but we are unsure because we really don't know God and His kind intentions toward us. So often today, churches of Christ and people in general, I feel, misrepresent God and His true heart toward us. In short, we have a form of religion but no true answers to our questions or, worse, no real relationship with God Himself. One night, during my nightly devotions and meditations in God's word, unlike any time before, God spoke to my heart, telling me to publish this book. I was meditating on the scripture, talking about the prodigal son. Yet Jesus's real focus on that parable teaching was not either of the sons so as much as it was on the Father's heart and His kind intentions toward us. God wants a strong, developed relationship with you right now, right where you are at.
You don't have to do anything at the moment but believe in Him and His words. Summed up, this book is God's love story to you. How much He's crazy about you. How much He longs feverishly for a deep restored relationship with you. If you're tired of wandering from relationship to relationship, job to job, things to more things, and still feeling empty, maybe it's time for you to sit down, read these words, and let Him speak life into your heart as His son or daughter. Remember, not all people had a good reflection of God from their earthly fathers or even have a father, but we all have one Father in heaven who wants to speak to us now, are you willing to let Him speak? He has been listening to your cries for a long time now, and I sincerely believe the words He has for you in this book is your answer you've been longing for.
