For people who are reading this for the first time I would like to help you understand why this blog exists.

For the first years as a christian I enjoyed reading the journals of those who had lived out their faith. Two of my favorites are Hudson Taylor and “God’s Smuggler” by Brother Andrew. I tried again and again to write a journal but after a time it would become sporadic and finally end.

After several years I started what I call Heart Talks where I would write out my thoughts and feelings in what to me is poetry as a way to have Heart Talks with God.

Every year I would begin a new Heart Talks and over the years they became longer and longer. The Heart Talks are my attempt to be honest with myself and God and at times they are brutal. I try to not whine remembering to “serve no whine before its time.”

About six years ago I started what would later be called Small Fiber neuropathy and went on disability. Having lost the opportunity and ability to preach I thought God wanted me to start a blog which I call “Daily Dose of God’s Glorious Love”.

Over the years the blog has changed in how I share but not what I share. For over a year I started to write a hope and faith journal which is for those who have a relationship with God and for those who do not. Those with faith can find hope and grace in God as Creator and Father and those who are without faith can find hope and grace in creation.

During the last couple of years I realized because I held onto pornography so hard it has become my idol, my god. Jesus cannot be crucified again and without repentance faith withers and dies. As a friend says falling from God is our fault. “Every time we say no to God we slam a door shut in God’s face. Without true repentance as more doors are slammed shut it becomes harder and harder to hear God’s voice and soon we cannot.”

GOD IS NOT TO BLAME! God has shown patience and mercy to me beyond belief and as I used to teach “If God never did anything for us after the fall He is still deserving of our praise and worship.”

I think all people need to know there is hope beyond hope or as we could say hope in hope. Without we are left in fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred and hatred breed violence.

As I was starting my hope journal I watched a video on Grace Relations. The speaker is a black pastor who has been married to a white woman for over 40 years. I was so amazed as he taught we have had decades and generations of race relations and the problem has only gotten worse. So maybe we need to begin with grace in our relationships.

I do not hope you will enjoy this but I hope beyond hope it will resonate with your soul.
