This used to be a story about love, but now it's a story about love and finding God. When you read God, I'm sure you just skipped this story, but this story is so much more than just God, it's about finding him in you (sounds cheesy - I know). Just read.
Also, if ever you've wondered about God or Jesus, this is not really the book you'll find the answers in, but this is a book where you can find peace that in today's life, whatever you are facing, you are not alone. However, it's not a substitute for the actual book of hope, or relatable content and understanding of life's intricacies - that book is the Bible (which I urge you to read, it changed my life!) my friends. :)

[To those of you have been reading this story before and up until I changed the plot, please remain patient with me. I want you to understand just one small thing my lovelies, :) yes this is a work of fiction, but some of these stories are relatable to so many people and it has been on my heart for YEARS AND YEARS! But I finally know what this story should be about and what the ultimate purpose is. I really just want to give a special word of gratitude to one of my readers who always gives me courage to continue writing this story. With each change, she remained there waiting for this story. I will, I will, I will finish writing this story.]
Based in Milnerton, Cape Town, Finding You is an interconnected story about the different lives of a group of teenagers at Sterling high, and their families too, all with pasts and problems, but God brings them all together by taking them through the storms of life and out of it again.

The world was full of trouble. Full of confusion and a catastrophic dilemma. One couldn't imagine at what destructive measure it would disintegrate into. While so many things were done to make the world a better place. At some point, it would later be revealed that the biggest problem was not a lack of educational facilities or a lack of health facilities. Believe it or not, Africa, also wasn't the world's biggest problem.
The problem with the world today is sin. Sin brought about problems that would perpetuate into many more generations to come! It's almost unbelievable that someone would leave greener pastures to settle in a beat-down environment like Earth. One would wonder what this being could ever want. If life existed beyond the surfaces of our universe, why stay? If there was the possibility of walking with a glory that outshined the brightness of the sun, why hesitate?
God cannot love us anymore than He loves our neighbor. His love tank is so vast that it accommodates everyone. Had He only sent Jesus Christ to the rich or the poor in African households, His love would then be conditioned to those that qualified. What makes His love so unique and strange is that He loves the broken and the sinners. He loves those of us that are unlikeable and unattractive. He persuaded His only son to die gruesomely to have all of mankind at His bosom.
In the movies, opening doors and buying a bouquet of flowers is symbolic of love. In families, love is expressed in many different kind of forms. Even animals have ways in which they show affection. While all of that might stand out. It cannot be compared to the love of God. God can feel love, and He is love!
