PREFACE SUMMARY
Dear reader, we all sometimes go through a phase in our life when we get over loaded and make mistakes which have cost us dearly but beloved please know that there will always be someone suffering including a lot more than we have for life is not fair but we have a God that is perfect in all his ways and he loves mankind his greatest creation.
Beloved, I know that I can honestly admit that I have made my share of mistakes and if we are trueful with ourselves, I believe some reading this right now will have to admit that you have also made some that you just wish that there could be some way that you could go back in time and correct them.
Dear reader, did we begin our downfall by not managing our time wisely in allowing others to manipulate us to the point that we gave up on what we were doing and started doing things for them?
Beloved reader, let’s face it, we became guilty of allowing circumstances to overpower us and because we were not able to think properly, we began to act on impulse and make decisions without counting the cost but beloved, the truths confined in this message will help get us back on the right path to understand that our God loved us through our many mistakes and called us anyway which is beyond anything our three pound mind can comprehend.
Dear reader, we must understand that the tests in life are prepared to produce character deep within us and beloved, we may suffer through many years of hard trials and tests before God will trust us to do what we were destined to do.
Saints please remember that our whole life has been preparing us for our destiny, and we need to understand that the greater the trials we encounter, usually means the greater the task which lies ahead that God purposely chose us to complete.
