Acknowledgements
I acknowledge the truth! In the acknowledgement of the truth, I acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”. He also said that when the Spirit of truth is come, He shall guide you into all truth. The pages of this book are filled with truths from the heart and Spirit of God as messages of love, hope and answers to those who truly seek and believe for the “good life” Jesus came for them to have and enjoy.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank every person that God directly and indirectly used to contribute towards the writing of this book. It would take an entire chapter or even another book to do justice in listing and detailing all the people and the things that each one has done to make this book a blessing. Even though you know who you are, I am confident, in my prayers and blessings for you, that GOD knows who you are.
Finally, I acknowledge the heart of sincerity of every reader of this book who seeks to serve God, to minister to others, and to be a blessing in all that you are, with all that you have, and in all that you do. I pray that your hearts overflow with the boldness, blessings, power and provisions of God so that you may prosper and have good success no matter what anybody else says or does.
Especially For You…
There are times in the pages of this book that I used the phrase “the single, the divorced, and the widowed”. My editor suggested that I only had to say, “single people”, because they all referred to the same group of people—the unmarried. I understood and acknowledged that she was correct in her suggestion about this. But I decided to keep that text just as I wrote it, especially in the light of an experience, related to me, which confirmed and justified my decision.
My editor told me that, one time, when her church had a Christian women’s seminar, there were separate classes scheduled: one for the single women and one for the married women. To my editor’s surprise, there were people who were divorced and people who were widows who did not know the proper event to attend. They didn’t know whether they were considered single or married. Occasionally, my Pastor has asked for a show of hands of all the single, then all of the married people in the congregation. It is alarming how many people have difficulty making their choice. Just after my divorce, it took me a while to decide to raise my hand, in church, and be counted among the single people.
It’s “bad enough” that so many of our single people are missing out on God’s blessing and favor for their lives where marriage and ministry in marriage is concerned. But, just how many sons and daughters of God out there, who are either divorced, widowed, or separated, who are secretly, facing inner conflicts of where they “fit in”; but are also, and more tragically, missing out on the blessing and “good life” that Jesus came for them to have and enjoy (John 10:10)?
This excerpt was extracted from the book, “Called to Ministry in Marriage”, for the specific intent of reaching and ministering especially to you, who consider yourself to come under the category of being “single, separated, divorced, widowed, or otherwise, unmarried”. No matter how bad things are, or how many mistakes you may or may not have made, God has not changed His mind, plans or provisions for the great and wonderful life that He desires for you to have.
God is bigger and far greater than any legitimate or illegitimate reason that you may have for not enjoying your life to its fullest. He is able to give you all the strength, understanding, mercy, and blessing that you need to live your dream, answer your calling, and fulfill your purpose. He has repeatedly done it for me, and He’s continuing to do it for me. I KNOW that He’ll do it for you, too—if you’ll let Him! How do I know? Because the bible says that God is “no respecter of persons”. That means that you are not so special, so unique, so “bad”, so unworthy, or so insignificant to God to keep Him from loving, forgiving, helping and blessing you.
It is my sincere belief that no matter who you are, God has help, hope, love and life just waiting for you to receive and enjoy. I pray and believe that there is something within the context of this book that will bless you, and will help you to know, receive, and enjoy all the great and mighty things that God has planned and provided…especially for you!
