I HOPE THESE POEMS AND DEVOTIONALS STIR UP YOUR HEART AND EMOTIONS.
My name is Anthony Fadelle and this book was created by the Finger of God the Father through His son Jesus Christ. I was brought up in a household that was not centered in Christ and left me as prey for the Evil one. I have suffered with feeling worthless and “not good enough” for God for most of my life. I always believed that I was the only one in this fight. I believed no one would love me or even like me if they really knew the things I have done. This book will take you through my pain and my glory. I want you to know that you are not alone and God and His Beloved will not Judge you. Our sin, yours and mine, are not an issue with our Papa. The Devil wants us to believe it is so that he can keep us in bondage and keep us from experiencing the Freedom of Christ. Our God is so big that he can look at each of us as His one and only. Prepare your hearts as these poems and devotionals will find their way into your heart and soul especially during the times that you just need to hear it.
My life in bondage was very painful and lonely; it was a place where I did not dare try to fight. I have been as low as you can get, Rock Bottom, but then I came to realize that through Christ and through others I can be strong. I can stand up for what I can believe in and most of all I can allow myself to be loved. We must accept our brokenness and know that we can’t fix it. There is no worldly material or pleasure that will fill the emptiness we have. That emptiness can only be filled by Christ through our salvation and His Grace. This book is for you, His Beloved, to use as you see fit. This is a gift from your Papa, to read when you need to be uplifted or when you need to be humbled. God’s hand in this book is twofold, a gift for you as I said before and healing for me. I trust fully in my Lord, well that is a work in progress, but more importantly He trusts me. These poems and devotionals have been through the spiritual warfare of life. The words are God breathed and will bring you to a place where you need to be.
God is coming for your heart, my friends. He loves you regardless of your beliefs and how you live your life. You are His one and only and because of that He will never give up. He will chase after you all your days, He will chase after everyone you know for all of their days, He will never quit because He is Love. Know that He can heal your pains and free you from your past. You will learn that forgiveness is not sugar-coated, but that it is you giving up your right for vengeance against those who have wounded your heart. God knows truth and He wants to love you and protect you. His love is everlasting, however it is also disciplining. Jesus is a Royal High Priest who is a warrior and believes in what he fights for and lives for. He believes in what He defeated death for, YOU!
I hope these poems and devotionals stir up your heart and emotions. I pray that God enters into your life and pulls you away from your routine. My prayer will continue that your hearts are broken and then rebuilt by our One True Healer and Papa, Jesus Christ. May your brokenness and redemption be found in these pages of Devoetry.
