    About this ebook

    As I reflect upon the past and the events that happened in leading me to salvation, and beyond, I have lived a very fortunate life. I have faced many dangers, dealt with many challenges, and escaped many life threatening situations, but I am able to look back and see where God had His protective hand in my life, even at times when I failed to recognise it. Jesus has been so gracious to me, displaying His love, patience, longsuffering, tolerance and faithfulness in many ways, often without my knowing it, His grace is truly amazing, beyond any doubt.

    Yet i have had the privilege of using my God given talents for His glory, by being able to be an examle of excellence to all I meet, I just love to encourage people and inspire them to rise up and be all that God would have them to be.

    This was the original idea for me writing as I have, to inspire people to put pen to paper and be an encouragement and inspiration to others, since we, as members of God's family, are to strengthen and support each other, especially in times of refreshing Everyone has a story to tell, some are simply explained, while others are more complex, but all have a common thread, your salvation was a miracle from God, and to undervalue that experience would be a tragic mistake. Ih ahve not had a single day go by where I have not given some thought to that sunny day back in January, 1980, when I had an encounter with the God of all creation, the impact of that encounter was so great that I still stand in awe of what happoened that day.

    I trust that, by writing and publishing my books, I have been able to inspire some people to salvation, and even encourage a few backsliders to return to God with a renewed enthusiasm for the God of a second chance, but only eternity will reveal the answer. I trust that in this world that is filled with confusion, hatred, instability and contradictions, I have been able to impart a little hope to those people who are in desperate need of stable ground to stand upon. May I be so bold as to quote the words of Dr. Robert Schuller, a man who is a fitting example of integrity, and has been an inspiration to me during my Christian walk, 'God loves you, and so do I.'

      So Faithful. - David T Gilbert

      Introduction to ‘So Faithful’

      In this poem, I wrote these words to express my appreciation to my God for all that He has done for me, but how does anyone truly give thanks to God for what He has done. There are times when words are not enough, and they must be supported by actions, and a good heart attitude. The reason for this poem, is that by meditating on what is written, you may also declare that Jesus is Lord, not because you read it in a book, but because you know that He is in your heart. Be blessed as you read and enjoy,

      David T. Gilbert.

      So Faithful

      (1)   My God is so faithful,

            He’s omnipotently stable,

               He is worthy of the highest praise,

         His love will ever be,

            Joyfully watching over me,

               I’m kept safe for all my days.

      (2)   His grace is amazing,

            I just can’t stop praising,

               He accepts us at our pace,

         His love is totally,

            Overwhelming to me,

               At the cross, He took my place.

      (3)   God has no need to be,

            Displaying His glory,

               He is at ease with who He is,

         When we surrender to Him,

            He forgives us of sin,

               Then invites us to be one of His.

      (4)   I could hardly believe,

            The love I’d
