"Why I Believe"

"Why I Believe" Text

I grew up not believing. I don't think I believed in much of anything. Life was all about escaping out of constant pain. I don't remember much of my past. One day, someone in a group online told me about Jesus. I don't remember the group. I don't remember what the person said. I just remember they told me about Jesus. I don't remember any major feelings or revelations. I just remember believing. I didn't do much with that belief but I believed. I visited a couple of Churches with people I knew at the time. I don't think I was growing in the Lord. But I did believe in Jesus. Years ago, I was going to a Church. I thought I was growing and going in the right direction. I believed in Jesus but I'm not sure I was growing in Him. I never had good health but my health got worse. My health is nowhere near as bad as many but it is worse than some. It is worse for me. I didn't go out like I used to. I no longer went to Church. But I still believed in Jesus. I found Services online. It was no longer enough for me to celebrate things because others did. It was no longer enough to do things because I had or because tradition said. I believed in Jesus but there was a lot I didn't know. There was a lot I didn't understand. I started doing a little research. Nothing major. I just looked things up online. I learned new things. I also learned I had some things wrong. I started to understand Scripture better. I am still learning but I think I am finally on the right path. At first I just believed. Then the belief grew stronger. I guess it turned into love. I love the Lord but I want to love Him more. I want to please Him. Sometimes I am good at writing things. I am not always good at explaining things. There is evidence that the Bible is the Word of God. There is evidence that Jesus lived in the flesh. I am not good at explaining facts of why I believe. I have found Sermons and messages that explain the facts very well. I share many of them on my one website and on social media. There is a lot I don't know and can't explain. I believe in the Father and the Son. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe the Bible is True. I take the Bible very seriously. I take the Lord very seriously. I want to do right by Him even if people don't understand. I wish I could explain why I believe. I have never seen God. Although I think I did in a dream once. I am not sure if I have ever heard or felt God. I talk to Him every day. I hope one day I get better at understanding His Leadings. I do believe these 'spoken word' messages are led by Him. I do believe the One that became Jesus is the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Word (Jesus) was, is, and will be the Son of God. He is God. The Bible clearly says it and I believe it.
