Déjà Vu, God Loves You

About the Book

This short collection of poems and other writings is about my personal walk with God and Jesus and how he has helped me grow in the talents that he has blessed me with. There are so many questions still not answered, discoveries to be discovered, sins to be forgiven, and so on. During my walk with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, many good-hearted men and women of the faith—and even those not of the faith—in my life have directly or indirectly answered many questions, enjoyed discovering new things, and had many sins forgiven. Hopefully, this short collection of poems, Bible scriptures, hymns, and quotes will inspire you to go on a journey of discovery, find the abundant life, and discover what it means to enjoy the reality of unconditional love from God the Creator, who is real, created everything, and loved you first, even before time began. Enjoy the poems again and again and again because déjà vu—God loves you. It is not impossible. As Jesus says in Matthew 10:39, “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”

About the Author

Well, where do I begin. My friends call me Dayo. That’s a nickname, and there’s a song in there somewhere. I was born in Highgate and brought up in Peckham. My parents are dead, leaving four children and six grandchildren. After school, I gained a higher national diploma in applied biology. Since then, my CV is filled with a variety of jobs, from being a laboratory assistant to currently working as a sales assistant. God has changed my life since my baptism in 1987. Does that show my age, even though I’m still young at heart and single? As God helped me to grow as a Christian, the gifts that God blessed me with grew, especially poetry/songwriting, that you will discover as you read the poems in my first published book.
