We often wonder why things happen the way they do. Was it my fault? Did I displease God?

There are many times we feel this. It could the lost job; losing the battle of addiction, health issues, etc.

I need to make something clear:

  • God cares for us.
  • He is always near.
  • He wants us to have the best life possibly.
  • He made us in His own image, which proves how much He loves us.

When you believe all that I posted above, then you know that God doesn’t cause the things that happen to us. They happen because He wants us to depend on Him to help us through those storms of life. He wants us to call on His name for help. He will be there.

I know this, because He heard my cries for help and recused me from the pits of the muck and mire. I was ready to check out of this hotel called earth, and He stopped me. He had work for me to do, and the work became the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

I am the main character of the book. I share my battles and how I over came them. I didn’t pull any punches. Some think the first section is a little dark. Well, my life was dark at one time, and I needed to have you feel how it was for me.

By the end of the book, I praise God and encourage others to do the same.

You don’t have to wonder if od cares. You just need to go to Him and pray for His guidance. He listens and will give you insights you never though were possible at one time in your life.

Check out the book trailer “Signs of Hope: ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” on the right below the Amazon icon. It will explain in more detail how the book can help.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

When the darkness comes from life’s heavy burdens what do you do? Some go into deep depression. Others stay strong and always see the bright side of everything.

I have been in deep depression, but now I know everything is for the good of those who believe.

That verse in the bible is hard for some who wonder, “If that is true, what good did I receive from my loved one’s death?

Well, a little further in that same verse, it says for those who believe. That means belief in God.

When we believe, we also learn to trust God. We learn from our storms and trials. Sometimes we need to be put to the fire of life, to fine tune us like a sword has to be put to the fire to sharpen and shape to its maximum  potential.

I am now looking at everything on the bright side. I have learned that God has a plan. I have learned that He loves me, and will help calm the storms in my life.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all….never, ever, give up!

I have a podcast here that I did with John Kremer, the marketing guru. He invited me to share unusual places to sell books. Take a listen and hit those streets running: goo.gl/WGTF7.

Many of us get up in the morning and wonder why we even got up. We look outside and it is dark with clouds. We feel a bit puny from a cold. We think life sucks, and try to stay away from any human contact.

OK, that was a pretty extreme case, or was it?

Do you have more cloudy days than you have sunny days in your life. Do you sometimes feel like you would rather just stay in bed?

I can truthfully say I have been there. Many years ago, (2001) I was at the bottom of the pit struggle in the muck and mire. I didn’t have any energy. I didn’t want to face anyone, or make any decisions. I was a mess, and my wife knew it. She didn’t know what to do. She would ask me what was wrong, and I kept saying back. “I don’t know?”

It is called depression, my friends. It is not a dirty word. It is not a mental illness. It can be treated with medications, and with faith in God.

It is a chemical imbalance. I fought that idea for years. I thought I was going crazy. I couldn’t function. I was letting Satan pull me down like a huge magnate. He would have had me placed on his trophy wall if God hadn’t stepped in and saved me.

On March 31st, 2001, I was sitting in my Ford Explorer,  thinking about checking out of this hotel called earth. I finally yelled out to God, “I can’t take this anymore!”

It truly was in an instant that I felt relief and a calmness that I hadn’t felt in months. It was like God said, “It’s about time you came back to Me, not let Me carry you the rest of the way.”

God never was away from me all during my storms and trails, and He isn’t today. I still face some trials and storms. We all do, but now I know that god is only a prayer away. He calms me and gives me comfort, through my prayer to Him, and the Bible.

If you are having a similar experience, I feel you need to see a doctor and tell him your symptoms. You also need to turn to God and talk to Him every day. Not just when there is a crises. Talk to Him every day!

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never ever, give up!
