Faith
There are times when we try to do everything ourselves and we get lost and sometimes feel defeated. This is when we must hand ourselves over to God and seek his guidance. There have been a number of times I thought to myself God I wish I was born with a set of specific set of instructions to follow like an owners manual for myself.
On September 19 2010 with the guidance of three new friends from the Christian Church I found. I learned these directions are located in the Holy Bible. Before that special day I was real ignorant and assumed the bible was just one giant confusing story. I was ignorant because I was lazy with my faith and didn’t understand.
Overall I made a gazillion mistakes through out my life. On the other end of the spectrum I have always had good intentions with whatever I do. Deep down inside of myself I was lost, confused and felt defeated in many ways. My good intentions led me down a road that took me to my own personal hell. After I made the decision to just say you know what God I cant do this anymore and I want real guidance or I want out – the thought of ending my life entered my mind many times. This was the extreme I thought if I cant figure myself out I want to meet my maker and end the pain that consumed me. I choose to not take the easy way out and I found God. I broke down and and gave myself to God once and for all and could not have been more sincere with myself. It felt good, better then good.
The feeling of hopelessness and despair disappeared as I opened my heart. My journey has just begun I have found many of life’s mysterious questions and answers in the bible.
Perhaps you have sought guidance for yourself in your own way. Maybe the answers to life’s journey came natural for you. Perhaps you were taught from family or friends. I tend to explain things using analogies and here are a few important questions I have asked myself.
How does God want me to think?
What does God want me to say or to do?
How does God want me to treat myself and others?
How does God want me to react when I encounter problems?
These are just a few of the many questions I have asked myself and God through prayer.
I have found the purpose of going to Church is it enables me to surround myself with like minded individuals so I can grow and learn and even help others grow and learn that are standing where I use to be, in the dark. I have learned that the bible is an awesome book filled with mysterious and educational stories about life both past and present. These stories hold the key to our future and the answers are all there waiting for us to discover. When I cant find the answers myself I can find them with the help of my Church and my Christian family and that what the bible and Church is all about.
Maybe you stumbled across my blog on the internet or perhaps you know me personally. No matter what I hope you enjoy your visit here and I encourage you to find yourself a Bible Based Christian Church and open your eyes, your ears and most importantly your heart and welcome a new beginning for yourself.
