Bible Question:
Do you believe in God? If so, then why? Sincere answers only please. |
Bible Answer: Yes! When I was a very young child no more than 5 or 6 my grandmother caressed the side of my head looking at me with such loving eyes. I remember a chilling wonderful energy flowed through every cell in my little body. At that age I knew nothing about what it was I only knew it was good to be me right then and there. My grandmother was a very devout Catholic who attended church daily. I can only guess but I think she was asking God to watch over me all the days of my life. She introduced me to the Holy Spirit that is God on that day. It was many many years before I was fortunate enough to be filled with the Holy Spirit again. Now I hope and pray that my children feel the love of God when I caress there heads. If we are not here to pass that kind of love on from one generation to the next then we exist for no good reason whatsoever. I have found that by adhering to the statutes of the written word of God. I am never offended. When I wake in the morning it is with joy. When I go to sleep at night it is in peace with thankfulness. You ask if so then why? I can tell you and with much conviction it is because I knocked and he chose to answer. You see we dont choose him he chooses us. I have seen every wicked sin there is forgiven and forgotten. the number of people I know who share the kind of serenity I enjoy is ever growing. |
