Why do I believe in God?
There are two main reasons.
1) I have felt him there.
2) I have seen his power.
I think of God as a parent who doesn't always step in to help. Although sometimes I wish he would when he doesn't. I do also believe that often times God shows up as another person. A friend or family member or even a stranger that shows up and shows God's love.
I felt his power after Luke's accident. I have no doubt he sent angels (my dad) to keep Luke safe. I am not sure why Luke was saved that day. But he was. Maybe I will never know. Sometimes I think he was saved because of me. Because God knew that it would have tore my marriage apart and destroyed my relationship with my mom. But maybe it was because Luke has some great purpose.
I know there is lots of evil in the world. So much war and hate and children starving. But even in the worst situations there is still good. Sometimes you have to look a little harder for God but he is there. And sometimes you have to step in and show God's love to people who don't have it.
Every day I see God. No matter how much I question the church policies I have never questioned God. This world is all to perfectly organized for me to think it was just an accident. There are so many things about the world and life that makes me pretty certain that God designed it.
I am not one of those people who will "Just leave it up to the Lord". I believe that many things that happen or don't happen are because of things we did or didn't do. If we managed our money incorrectly and don't have enough to attend a family funereal . We can't sit back and say well that was God's will. No it wasn't. It was because you failed to make wise decisions with your money.
I know that life is good. I know that God loves me no matter where I spend Sunday morning. I know that God wants me to be compassionate and kind and giving.
