Introduction

A world outside your own is about all my life stories, close friends and family members. Our stories, struggles, obstacles, and barriers, that we have had to cross in life, some poems even has a special meaning or lesson with what goes on in everyday life. I truly thank God for being a good God. I also, glorify the Lord for giving me the knowledge to make this poetry book possible if it had not been for his grace and mercy where would we be? How many times us as saints allow the devil to trick us from being in the present of God? In life no one knows sometimes what you’re going through or where you been or even where you are at now. Life hasn’t been easy at all while I was young I faced many adversities I encountered disappointments, hardships, And I even had a lot of days where I felt like given up. But I truly have learned along my righteous path that when you come to know Jesus Christ that’s the best feeling in the world. I accepted Christ at a very young age and I have come to know every time I separate myself from the things of God I have come to learn that you have fun for a season before the Holy Ghost tells your spirit man I need to get back. It comes a point when you get real tired of running from God that’s where my favorite poem A Backslider’s Prayer kicks in. I had to learned saints of God, that God didn’t only want half of me he wanted all of me. I don’t mind telling anyone about how grateful I am to have come to know him. A world outside your own I hope it be a blessing to someone’s life. I pray that it even help dying sinners out of there mess. I pray for families that has been broken, our country, jobs, and even an increase in our spirit mans. I pray for the sick and needy that God may take a walk through the hospitals and began to heal. I even pray for that son or daughter that’s strong out on drugs began to come back to the Lord and began to tell God I’m sorry here I am wash me up God. I pray for that woman who’s inside that abusive relationship to leave and come after God like never before. The way they hunger after drugs God allow them to hunger after you oh God I pray that we will never be the same after hearing your word your voice in Jesus name I pray Lord,

AMEN
