First giving glory to God for choosing someone like me to be a witness and an example for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! As I reflect over this life of privilege and grace; I am truly amazed at how the same God that created the sun, moon, and the stars of heaven would give a thought to someone like me, or anyone else for that matter; to allow his only son to die in my stead! Life for me has been a challenge full of adversity, but yet I was given a charge to keep, one I didn’t ask for, but feel honored to have. If we think truly about what it took to still be alive with the greatest promise (heaven) any man could ever desire, that should be enough to not only live right, but to want other people to share in this joy. I used to doubt if God really called me until I saw the change in the lives of others, as well as the blessings that others have received after truly accepting Jesus Christ. That alone is assurance and gives me peace that God has called me to work on his behalf. Blessings to all of you! Continue to love God no matter what happens. Continue to follow him, bless him through the good and the bad, keep trusting him, and he will direct your path. Thank you Jesus for trusting me! – Pastor Charles T. Winfield
