Dear Friends,
What a difference it makes to know that someone out there is interested in you. Indeed, it is well-said that we are not alone, we are truly a piece of a whole. Even when we do not recognise, or acknowledge it, the fact remains that no human being is an island. I can tell you right now with all certainty that you mean quite a lot to someone somewhere.
Years ago I was deeply moved by a film titled LEAN ON ME. It was set in a run-down inner city High School that had a bad reputation for its failure rate and other anti-social behaviours, including gangs, violence and drug culture. But one determined Head-teacher with his team turned the situation around, and before long the story of the school changed for good. But that was not without a price, as change in itself is a process that changes those involved in it in various degrees and ways.
Yet there is one factor that has remained unchanged in all circumstances - it is the God-factor. Yes, God has been there from generation to generation, as kingdoms rise and fall, as rulers come and go - He's been there and seen it all. Indeed he is the one who holds history in His hands, including yours, and directs things as He pleases. Interestingly, He knows even the end of every matter, and He uses people and circumstances to fulfill His will and accomplish His ultimate purpose. Trust Him today and experience the peace He give.
May I at this point acknowledge those who the Lord has used to be a blessing to my family and I, especially our larger family and circle of friends who have contributed in different ways to make us what we are today. You all have particularly inspired me to aspire for the utmost in life, and have truly given me your shoulders to lean on when I was weak. Of course, so many of you will be wanting to catch-up with what has been happening around me recently. Anyway, I can assure you that all is well with me, my wife and my kids.
It is therefore with great joy that I welcome everyone to my world, and wish you a happy reading of Fresh Letters online. By the way, my apologies to those who have been used to reading the paper/printed version of Freshletters. We will be doing less of that in order to help save our forests. We will only print when it is absolutely necessary.
Once again, welcome to my world!
Blessings,
George Kalu
