"I know you exist, Show me you exist"
"I know you exist, Show me you exist"
"I know you exist, Show me you exist"
God. Exists. Its a simple concept, really. Something (someone?) greater than myself made everything around me. Made me. Made me in his image. Made me...perfect?
But thats just where I get hung up. Doesnt it make more sense that humanity just...happened? We exist simply because we do. No more, no less. We are millions of atoms made into specialized cells (blah, blah, blah, biology, biology, biology, boring, boring, boring.)
There. Has. Got. To. Be. More.
Theres a reason I'm alive. Theres a reason I WANT to know and love Jesus.
Only, I cant find it. I cant find him. For the past two weeks I've been walking around muttering the same mantra to. "I know you exist, Show me you exist" I guess its just not that easy.
SO: How did you find Jesus? What made him real to you? I'll read anything, go anywhere (with financial exception), do anything. I need some help.
Comment the blog, email me (sarah.ruth.wylie@gmail.com), tweet me(@twindsurah), whatever. I am open to ideas.
"someone come and, someone come and save my life...maybe i'll sleep when I am dead but now its like the night is taking sides."
In love, Sarah.

It has the answers to so many questions. Some questions that have lingered with me for 10+ years of being a Christian.
And you're right. There is a reason that you want to know & love Jesus. Said simply, its exactly THE reason you were created. It's not unusual to feel like some things just don't make sense. Jesus said that they wouldn't unless God himself reveals them to you (Matthew 11:25-30).
You can't find God. Only He can reveal himself to you. However, He also says (Matthew 7) to seek and you will find. So, do what you are doing! Ask questions. Seek Him. Pray for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the mystery of the gospel. He is faithful and will reveal himself!
Blessings, Chris
