From the beginning of time, we were given a choice. I choose to live my life for Christ. Not because I was born into it, influenced, or told to, but strictly because I willingly accept the truth as the one and only reason to live. Here's my theory: No matter how many times you throw paint at a canvas, you'll never get a fully painted picture with intricate design, heavily crafted lines and colors, perfected to make one beautiful picture. No randomness can create that. It needs a painter; a creator. And as the artist strokes the brush against the fibers of the paper, their "original" work isn't so original after all. That landscape they paint, person, mountain, sky, is all just an imitation of the bigger picture the "original" artist once created. There is a God no matter what anyone says, makes up, or thinks. Look outside your front door, see the world, and you'll find your proof. Better yet, look into the mirror and tell me how randomness or coincidence leads to a functioning body with a systematic programing that has heart that pumps blood to the brain, which tells body parts to move and so on. Even better, how can you explain emotion, without there being a higher power, meaning, and reason for existence? And although those are very OBVIOUS reasons as to why there is a God, it's the experience that sells it to me rather than just the belief. What separates Jesus Christ from all the other religions out there? It's the love He presented in the life He lived. (all throughout the new testament you can read about Jesus' life) That love has carried on after He died, through the Holy Spirit, and lives in the hearts of all who choose to seek it out. Like I said, I chose to live for Him, therefore I've been impacted by His unconditional, never ending love, that I find evident in every aspect of my life. His mysterious ways, and freeing love is what keeps me believing, seeking, and living. He gives me rest, peace, and He gives me purpose. If I were to wake up and deny ever knowing this love, and that God exists, well, I'd be fooling myself. After I've come this far in the journey, there's no questioning it was God that created me to be the loving, happy girl I am; or else I'd be walking in the world hopeless with no knowledge of an answer to live. That's the amazing thing about being saved, it's not just a declaration of faith, but a true celebration of being rescued. It's no fairytale. The Bible isn't Peter Pan or Cinderella. It's the living TRUTH. It's up to you to believe what is true, or fool yourself into believing this world is all there is, nothing else, no reason, no purpose, just matter, time and coincidence. As for me, I choose to believe what is true. You can take everything I say, and not believe a word. But it's not till you experience the love of Jesus Christ, that you will fully understand why I so passionately believe and stand by my faith. It's unlike any other. It's hope for the hopeless, and hydrates the thirsty.
But whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never become thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become a well of water for him, springing up to eternal life."
John 4:14
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.
Deuteronomy 7:9
