I read a post in Cafe'Mom about a woman who was losing her faith because she had never "felt God", I felt compelled to respond to her post. And that is what brought this on. To share my testamoney.
I was raised in the church. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was 5 and recommitted my life to Christ when I was 17. My Whole family is a God fearing/loving family. And I mean my whole family, gpa, gma, aunts and uncles,etc. I don't remember a single minute without God in it.
Now you might say, if you know me well, that my life was sheltered, or I am a naive person, but I have seen and gone through somethings in my life no one should. When I was 4, my baby sister passed away. She was a sick little thing, too sick to stay with us, so God took her back home. Why did it end up that way, I don't know, but while she was here, she blessed a lot of lives. When I was 7 , I lost my papa to skin cancer. When I was 16, I was delivering newspapers with my boyfriend, now hubby, and he almost wrapped his little Festiva, with us in it, around a tree out in the country. God's hand moved that car, I am telling you now. When I was 17, I was there when I watched a young boy die due to a gun shot to the heart. And I almost watched my little brother go to jail for it.( it was an accident) T has gone through some tough stuff in his life and much of it is self inflicted, but God has watched out for him, and he is now a much different person. I believe he has seen Gods work in his life too. ( though you would know it sometimes, Luv Ya Bro)All of these things could have been much worse for my family and me, but God's hand was on us, protecting us. It is His promise to All who trust and believe in Him.
Now,I am not sure how to explain a "feeling" that God is there with out talking in circle, I guess you would call it a "knowing". A "knowing" that, God is there, with His hand on you, protecting you, guiding you. I guess I have believed in God for so long, I never grew out of that "childlike faith". I have faith in everyone, to do good or to do better.
I guess all I could say is if "we are all gods" (as previously posted by someone else) and there is nothing else for us, then what are we here for? I can't believe that that could be truth. That means we as humans have No purpose what so ever.
I love my God, I feel His love daily through my hubby and my kids and my family, it is unconditional, it is never ending, and if it wasn't, I would be very lonely, because let me tell you, I can be a regular bitty sometimes.
Search Him out for yourself, and then watch the people around you, and then listen. If you truly believe in God and His Son, you will find Him. He is closer than you think.
