This is a spiritual testament of my life's journey, as well as a channel of inspiration to guide believers and non-believers in Christ to seek growth and development in their lives.
It was essentially important for me to gain the understanding that every aspect of our life is spiritual. Though that truth I begin to see how crucial it was to start each day with a positive state of mind. But it was very difficult for me to do that since I was incarcerated on death row. Eventually my meditation and study of the bible helped me to create a method to achieve that blessing.
I grew up in a dysfunctional home. This prevented me from acquiring any meaningful appreciation of myself as a person. And I've come to notice how the perpetuation of superficial standards in our society have eroded the desire to embrace a true value of ourselves. So genuine self-worth is being discarded. But God's grace through his word elevated my perception of who I am as a believer in Christ, and thus have motivated me to pursue the improvements of my inner-man. Having a spirit of excellence brings honor to God. So take pride in who you are.
Putting my trust completely in God was a struggle that plagued me for many years. This was due to the fact that I did not have personal relationship with Christ. So out of ignorance I believed that a backsliding Christian was not entitled to receive any help from god. But when I shift my focus back on proper worship, I came to understand the depth of God's mercy and how his love for humanity will never let him forsake us, because Jesus knows how it feels to undergo the various struggles we endure.
