Majesty

––––––––

Creating the cover of a book is as God created

our faces. All humans are designed uniquely,

with lots of love, one of a kind, each independently.

It all has a deep meaning, purpose, and message

to give and share,

to open your heart and mind to feel and care.

A crown is the highest symbol of royalty

what comes with law, respect, power, and authority.

Our Earthly or heavenly kings are worth of crowns

if it is decorated with diamonds

or wreaths with thorns.

We all need to bow in meekness with our heads

and knees down.

For me, the turquois colour symbolizes a

mysterious and pure clean sparkling ocean

of the magical untameable creation.

The yellow sun and clouds is a reflection

of a living picture of perfection.

The darkness of danger on the black horizon

is the first symbol and sign of a storm

or hurricane coming upfront.

A gate can be small and humble or gigantic, impressive in materials, styles or forms.

It represents a statement or line of protection

where the owner rejects or welcomes

you with open arms and warmth.

The colour of a gate can be gold, white or black, whatever you chose or like.

––––––––

In order to enter our heavenly gate, only God can give us this privilege and right.

That is what is exhilarating to look forward to,

to enter the Kingdom of Wonder, for me and you.

Because we are on a journey,

Earthly pilgrims, his heir and children

and though it, we are worthy.

One day we will see his crown of glory

and we will be close in his light

because Jesus is our spiritual king and majesty.

Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, Abba,[a] Father. So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

Galatians 4:6-7 New International Version (NIV)

Author’s Note

Some will agree and others will not, some will smile, and some will be in joy about how I express my words and emotions. Even though I have been a Canadian for over forty-years, I have kept my German thinking and way of speaking when I translate my thoughts into the English language. This is what gives my writing and speaking a certain flair and charm of an immigrant. I have a unique way of expressing the English language with my own interpretations, feelings, personalities, and individual style. So, be ready, start to read and you will understand; feel and follow my unusual way of communicating challenging stories and poetries. My poetries are a basic form of sharing emotions in action and vision in metaphoric language of sensitivity and honesty. Impossible to understand the deep meaning if your heart is in an analyzing and critical view, or in personal rejection. Gods words are gladdening our hearts and they motivate our soul and thoughts in prayer. His forgiveness, wisdom, and love is a building a bridge to transform our lives that gives us hope and strength.

I have created this book for you to enjoy and see God’s blessings in it. An exciting eye-opener, inspiring, and thrilling to read. This is a gift that I am hoping no one will resist to give to their families and friends, and anyone they care to minister to.

Every event is based on my real life experiences and encounters, expressed through my observations, thoughts, and emotions.

I believe there is hope for every person and family around the world. If we yearn for a faithful family life, to consulate our marriage or to build our children’s characters and to strengthen and improve our interpersonal love relationship to deepen our lives. However, if we don’t know how to obtain, start, or nurture them, that’s when we need to go back to the scripture and learn to pray and trust in God’s words.

We should never make the mistake and error trying to change or adjust the words of God to our own interests and liking. We should embrace the principles contained in the Bible. God told us that His words were not easy to follow. But in the long-term, it is undoubtedly, that His messages are good blessings. Soul prayers and devotions are not empty theories. The substance of our faith is to put them in our daily lives, joyfully, committed and humble in service and action.

My Sincere Dedication

• This book is my hearts desire which I have dedicated, prayed, and put together with my love and respect to all humanity around the world and the next generation to come: that peace and unity will be the bond.

1 Chronicles 16:23-24

Sing to the Lord, all the Earth: proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvellous deeds among all peoples.

• This is my special gift and present, as a legacy, to the current king of Tonga, ʻAhoʻeitu Tupou VI, and his beautiful courageous island people. Tonga is a country and archipelago comprising 169 islands, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Oceania with a current population of around 100,000 (UN).

• To all missionaries around the world who are giving their time and love to share their beliefs and faith helping through outreaches to other nations in need and sharing God’s words and making disciples.

Their dedication and sacrifices are a wonderful testimony to all of us. Their love for Christ is expressed in giving, not fearing any obstacles or challenges. They simply trust God’s word and move under his guidance.

• I firmly believe that everyone around the world is important. We all are like missionaries, allowing God to work in us throughout all of mankind. His call is to love, forgive, and to reach out in faith to our neighbours.

For each global church, pastor, and congregation who are praying and supporting these special ministries emotionally or financially.

This is a gift of commitment and peace for the unity around the world.

• To every Christian believer at home who is ministering, caring, and sharing God’s words; that his spirit can touch people’s lives and hearts. For some of these people, I am thankful forever.

My Personal Inner Battle and Conviction

• Long ago, at the time when I was in desperate need and was searching for answers in my life, they became my ministering supportive angels. I fought with God about the unfairness of life and tragedies that happened to me and my mom, and the choices I made through it in my life. I was very angry at and rebellious against him. Working since I was young in the fashion industry, metropole in Paris and in show business, for me there was no evidence of God. I did not know any faithful person, marriage or believer. We all created our own images of what we believed in, or what became our adoring God. I was fiercely persistent and scared to trust God’s words and purpose in my life because I thought he would let me down and disappoint me as people and the church did at the time. I was raised with traditional religion, but saw the hypocrisy behind so many. I was terrified to believe or understand forgiveness and salvation, what if it is all wrong? Over a year, I was fighting, with many breakdowns, struggles, and spiritual and emotional battles. But listening to many testimonies and studying the Bible, one day I broke down and cried out, Jesus here I am, I cannot do it anymore on my own. That was the start of a new beginning; and his amazing grace gave me peace and unbelievable inner changes.

Because of these dedicated believers and their unconditional love, they reached out and taught me through years of Bible studies and prayer support groups, to find my own faith and trust in God. They taught me through God’s words the beauty and values of love, marriage, and family. Through this and God’s spirit, these helping angels continued throughout my entire life to be prayer warriors and friends. I learned to overcome struggles and hurts and to focus on putting my faith and deeds in action. I became stronger and more mature over all these years, in deep faith and commitment to Christ. God used my failures and victories and my life experiences, to give truth and hope through him, and to share it with others. I share my faith to my foster children and
