From the earliest days of my childhood, I've always been
surrounded by questions. Questions about the universe, about life, and about
our very existence. But among all these questions, one has always stood out to
me: Is God real? Today, after years of searching, questioning, and
experiencing, I can confidently say: God is real. Christ is Lord. Amen.
The Seeds of Doubt
Growing up, like many, I was skeptical. The world presented
so many contradictions. How could a loving God allow suffering? Why are there
so many religions, and which one is right? These questions, among others,
plagued my mind. The vastness of the universe and the intricacies of life
seemed to suggest a grand design, but was it all just a product of chance?
Encounters with the Divine
As I journeyed through life, there were moments that defied
explanation. Moments of serendipity, of profound peace, and of inexplicable
love. I remember once, during a particularly challenging time in my life, I
felt an overwhelming sense of comfort. It was as if a gentle hand was guiding
me, reassuring me that everything would be okay. These moments, though
fleeting, hinted at something beyond the tangible.
The Historical Christ
My journey also led me to delve deep into history. The
figure of Jesus Christ, a man who lived over two thousand years ago, stood out.
The historical records, the testimonies, and the impact He left on the world
were undeniable. Here was a man who claimed to be God, performed miracles, and
rose from the dead. The more I studied, the more I was convinced: Christ is
Lord.
The Power of Faith
But beyond historical records and personal experiences,
there was something else that solidified my belief in God: the transformative
power of faith. I've witnessed lives changed, hearts mended, and souls uplifted
by the simple act of believing. Faith, in its purest form, has the power to
move mountains, and I've seen it happen.
The Universe Speaks
The vastness of the universe, with its billions of stars and
galaxies, is a testament to a grand creator. The intricacies of life, from the
smallest cell to the vastness of the human mind, all point to a design, a
purpose. Every sunrise, every heartbeat, every breath we take is a reminder
that we are not here by accident. There is a creator, and He is very much real.
Conclusion
My journey to faith has not been without its challenges.
Doubts and questions still arise, but they no longer shake my core belief. The
evidence of God's existence is all around us, in the beauty of nature, in the
kindness of strangers, and in the depths of our own souls. I've come to realize
that faith is not just about believing in the unseen but experiencing the
divine in every moment of our lives. God is real. Christ is Lord. Amen.
