Love Chasers

By Daniel Jones

The aspiration for writing this inspiring book is to tell my experience in my journey for chasing love. In my expedition, I found that I encountered many others that were like me experiencing the same things. I constantly found myself looking for love in all the wrong things, people and places. What I learned is that I did not truly love myself. My goal is to tell my testimony of what I went through. Prayerfully with my discovering of chasing after love, others become aware and avoid the pain I endured. Without first loving God, yourself, then your neighbor the chase and find for true love will always be unreachable.

INTRODUCTION

I would say I am motivated by GOD to try to reveal or unveil His heart. That was my first initial persuasion to write this powerful book about the issue of Love. Not even sure how this came about, how did I get here. God placed this in my heart in 2016. I felt like I should be the last person He would use to write about love. God has a sense of humor, if you don’t think so; you are serving the wrong god. To God be the glory. This is a very open, honest revealing book about my life experiences. I was desperate to find love, when I found it, I called it love but it was sex. I just lived thru somewhat of a Prodigal son experience Lk 15:11-24 KJV. We overcome the enemy by the Blood of the Lamb and our testimony Rev 12:11 NLT. This will be one of the easiest, simple and I hope joyful book to read. My prayer my testimony will help someone and lift him or her to a better place in this unkind world.

You are going to hear God loves you a lot. I plan it that way so you will not forget. If you ever feel no one love or care for you, you will remember God the Father, God the Son do. Also that the Holy Spirit is with you for your comfort. I believe Love is to be the most dynamitic intrusive word in the English vocabulary. I like how Webster described it the fatherly concern of God for humankind, a person’s adoration of God, brotherly concern for others.

It is hard sometimes; maybe even difficult to understand, comprehend how much God the Father loves us so. He wants the very bestes, not sure, if that is a word but it do sound good and feel like it fits so let
