More Than Enough

There is an old art that remains in Japan called kintsugi. This art came about in the 15th century when a sentimental drinking bowl broke into many pieces. The owner was devastated, and his heartbreak would not leave him. He looked for different ways to give the drinking bowl a second life. Eventually, a translucent sap lacquer from a very rare tree was mixed with the dust of precious metals. The ceramic pieces were glued together with this beautiful epoxy.

The vessel had become far more beautiful and valuable than the original piece. The beauty came from what brought its pieces back together. This is what happened to me on my life journey on a road to Mountain Dale, when Jesus started to put me back together that night many years ago. He took all my fragmented pieces and put me together with His preciousness. Jesus is known as a tree, and the sap is His precious blood. There is beauty in being rejected, misunderstood, unseen, and unsupported by people. These things have taught me to rely solely on God and His handiwork for everything. You must be so passionate about improving your life that you don't have time to hate, judge, criticize, argue, or gossip about others. The best apology you can make in life is through changed behavior.

This book is a life changer, and you will never be the same once you read it. This life change will happen in a miraculous way that can only take place through the Holy Spirit when a wholehearted individual responds to His prompting. On this journey, the word of God will become your handbook.

I said to God, "I hurt," and He said, "I know."

I said, "God, I cry a lot," and God said, "That is why I gave you tears."

"But God, I'm so depressed." He said, "That is why I gave you sunshine."

"God, life is so hard!" God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."

I said, "My loved one has died." God said, "I know. I saw mine nailed to the cross."

I said, "But God, your loved one lives." God said, "So does yours."

"But God, where are they now?" God said, "Mine is to my right, and yours are in the light."

I said, "But it hurts." God said, "I know, but I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you
