The blacks, who were already being openly hated for being black, didn’t accept me because I was half white and the whites didn’t accept me because I was black. No one seemed to accept me except a few from either side; and this was inside my own family. I didn’t meet my mother’s father until I was fourteen. I was being prepared for the real world that was all too ready to jump right in line and pick up where my family left off or may have missed a lesson or two.
Why did these and more, much more happen to me?
Because if you’re going through hell right now or been through it; been abused; thinking of hurting yourself or someone else; thinking of suicide; thinking no one loves you or ever could; thinking no one cares; this is why I went through what you have to read in this book to believe. It was for you.
Blessed be GOD, even the Father of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, the Father of mercies, and the GOD of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of GOD.
For as the sufferings of CHRIST abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by CHRIST.
And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:3-6 KJV.
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with GOD through our Lord JESUS CHRIST:
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of GOD.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience:
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of GOD is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time CHRIST died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But GOD commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us. Romans 5: 1-8 KJV.
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in CHRIST JESUS.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that CHRIST JESUS came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first JESUS CHRIST might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting.
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1: 14-17 KJV.visualizza meno
