Over 22 years in the mafioso lifestyle: money, crime & addiction…💸🚔
Jesus Christ is my Lord & Savior. New interview on YouTube with John Alite.👇

I've learned something over the years: Gratitude I've learned something over the years:

Gratitude is my weapon.

Not because life has been easy. It hasn't.

I've buried people I love. I've lived through addiction, prison, regret, and consequences from choices I wish I could take back.

But when I stop and look at where I should have ended up compared to where God has brought me, gratitude rises up in my heart.

I should be dead.

I should still be lost.

I should still be in bondage.

BUT GOD.

God has been faithful.

Faithful when I was running from Him.
Faithful when I hit rock bottom.
Faithful when I didn't deserve another chance.
Faithful when I couldn't see what He was doing.

Gratitude doesn't ignore the hard things in life.

It remembers the goodness of God in the middle of them.

And that's why gratitude has become one of my greatest weapons. It reminds me that if God has been faithful before, He'll be faithful again.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." - Psalm 107:1

Your past isn't wasted, it's a weapon.

For years, I thought something was wrong with me b For years, I thought something was wrong with me because I was never satisfied.

I chased respect. I chased money. I chased the streets. I chased drugs. Every time I got the thing I thought would finally make me happy, I found myself wanting something else.

I couldn't figure it out.

Then I came across Ecclesiastes 3:11:

"He has also set eternity in the human heart."

That verse changed my perspective.

I realized I wasn't empty because I was broken. I was restless because God had placed eternity inside of me.

That ache in my soul wasn't a curse.

It was evidence.

Evidence that I was created for something more than this world could offer.

I wasn't really looking for money, power, or drugs. I was searching for something eternal. I just didn't know His name was Jesus.

Maybe that's where you are today.

You've achieved things. You've chased things. You've tried to fill that void with something the world promised would satisfy.

But it never lasts.

Why?

Because eternity can only be filled by the One who put it there.

BUT GOD.

The very thing that made me restless became the evidence that God never intended this world to satisfy me.

Growing up, I chased, a among many things: respec Growing up,  I chased, a among many things: respect.

I thought power, money, and reputation would give it to me.

Instead, drugs took everything I thought I had built.

The same streets that once respected me watched me fall apart. Addiction stripped away my pride and exposed the emptiness in my heart.

And here's what I've learned:

Only God can change a heart.

I wasn't looking for God.

I wasn't searching for a Bible or a church.

I was running hard in the opposite direction.

But He sure found me.

The truth is, He was always there.

He was there in my rebellion.
He was there in my addiction.
He was there in my prison cell.
He was there when I hit rock bottom.

I didn't find God.

I finally surrendered to the God who had been pursuing me all along.

BUT GOD.

"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you." - Ezekiel 36:26

I remember sitting alone in that prison cell after I remember sitting alone in that prison cell after a phone call with my daughter.

I couldn't hide from who I had become anymore.

I fell to my knees and prayed, "God, either change me or let somebody kill me. I can't live like this anymore."

I had nothing left.

No strength. No answers. No hope in myself.

And that's when I discovered something I'll never forget:

God is there even at your lowest.

He's there in the prison cell.
He's there in the addiction.
He's there in the shame.
He's there in the desperate prayer that barely gets out through tears.

I thought I had reached the end of my life.

BUT GOD met me at rock bottom.

Sometimes we think God only shows up when we've cleaned ourselves up. The truth is, He often meets us in our mess, our brokenness, and our surrender.

If you're at your lowest today, don't believe the lie that God has abandoned you.

He may be closer than you've ever realized.

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

One of the most powerful stories in the Bible is t One of the most powerful stories in the Bible is the thief on the cross.

Think about it.

He had nothing left to offer Jesus.

No good works.
No second chances.
No time to make things right.

Just a broken man at the end of his life who turned to Jesus and said, "Remember me."

And Jesus responded, "Today you will be with Me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)

I love that story because it reminds me of my own life.

When I finally came to Christ, I wasn't bringing Him a clean record. I wasn't bringing Him accomplishments. I was bringing Him the mess I had made of my life.

The thief on the cross reminds us that salvation isn't a reward for good people.

It's a gift for people who know they need a Savior.

That's grace.

That's mercy.

That's the Gospel.

There was a time when I was convinced I had gone t There was a time when I was convinced I had gone too far.

Too much crime.

Too much addiction.

Too much damage.

If you had told me then that one day I'd be preaching the Gospel, carrying a Bible instead of a gun, and telling people about Jesus, I would have laughed in your face.

But that's exactly why God chose me.

Not because I deserved it.

Not because I earned it.

But because my story proves that no one is beyond His reach.

As the Apostle Paul wrote:

"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me... Christ Jesus might display His immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him." -1 Timothy 1:15-16

If God can transform a Mafia associate, an addict, and a man headed for destruction, He can transform anyone.

Including you.

In my recent interview with John Alite, I gave him In my recent interview with John Alite, I gave him a Bible.

We've known each other since the old neighborhood. We've walked very different paths, but my responsibility remains the same.

I often say I'm just a mailman.

My job isn't to change people.

My job isn't to convince people.

My job is simply to deliver God's message into their mailbox and let God do the rest.

That's true whether I'm speaking to one person, a prison cell, a church, or an old friend.

Too many believers stay silent because they're worried about the outcome.

But God never called us to save people.

He called us to share the message.

The results belong to Him.

"One plants, another waters, but God gives the increase." - 1 Corinthians 3:6

Keep delivering the mail.

God is still changing lives.

I had finally reached the end of myself.

I fell to my knees and prayed one of the most desperate prayers of my life:

"God, either change me or let somebody kill me. I can't live like this anymore."

I was broken. Defeated. Out of answers.

But that was the moment everything started to change.

God met me at rock bottom and began rebuilding what I had destroyed.

BUT GOD.

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

No matter how far you've fallen, God's mercy is there for you.
