I believe in God for many reasons, I don't even know where to start listing them.
God is the very reason why I breathe, why I exist and why I live. The whole world is in His hands. He made the planets, the sun, moon and stars. He created every living being and they are all for His glory.
God is the very foundation on which my life rests, without Him, I am nothing. He created me, formed me and knew me even before my parents.
God upholds me everyday, without Him, my feet slip and I fall down and can't get up. For several periods in my life I ignored God and went my own way. Who was I kidding? My life stopped making sense until I crawled back to Him.
God loves me unconditionally and I know this. That's why I can fall and rise up again because He gives me countless chances. He never gives up on me.
God is merciful. He forgives me when I sin and He receives me when I return to Him.
God communicates with me. Oh! I can't describe the joy and privilege of hearing my Heavenly Father speaking to me. And He listens to me too! How wonderful and amazing is that? I can tell Him anything bothering me. I can be open and honest with Him and He is not going to be shocked.
God is my confidence and I get my self-worth in Him. Growing up I struggled with self esteem issues, I thought I was not worthy to receive love from anybody. I hated myself and several times I wished I could be someone else. I tried to get over these evil thoughts by myself but I couldn't. Not until I turned to God and allowed Him to take those feelings away and He did! God showed me who I am in Him, that He loves me so much, enough to send His Son to die for me. Now how can I turn my back on such love?
God is my provider. I can't count the number of times I've been flat broke and God provided for me in the nick of time.
God is my refuge and strong tower. When I have the One who made the universe by my side, I don't have to be afraid.
God has great plans for me. He is my guide in life. He knows everything, including my future. So when I am confused, I simply have to ask Him for directions and He reveals which way I should go.
God is full of surprises. The more I get to know Him, the more He amazes me. I long to be in His presence everyday, to know Him more, to hear from Him more.
God is my everything really. He's my relationship adviser, He's my Creative Director, He's my Father, He's my friend, He's my Shepherd, He's my companion, He's my peace.
So those are a few reasons why I believe in God.
If you believe in God, I hereby tag you to write a post and tell the world why. If you don't believe in God, I challenge you to seek Him and give Him a chance to prove Himself to you. After all, you have nothing to lose and eternity to gain.

Beautiful FG, I thank God, escpecially the communication part...thanks for being a part of this. Remain blessed
ReplyDeleteFG, you've very adequately expressed the reasons for your belief in God. This is a skill sadly lacking amongst many believers.
ReplyDeleteI shall try to take up the challenge to share why I believe.
Thanks,
This is sooo apt! I can't begin to tell you what God means to me!!! Sometimes we take Him for granted yet He remains faithful...We all need to individually discover for ourselves that God is real,otherwise we will just be practising mere religion...but when you know God and you discover that he is real and you let Him work in you,through you and for you...honestly you can't remain the same and you won't want it any other way...thanks for this...will definitely put a post up as well!
ReplyDeleteWe have being flat-broke in common...lol.

recently i was so humbled about how God could be so intrested in the seemingly mundane thots and gists of mine. he is truly a friend amongst other things.
ReplyDeletei loved this post.Why i believe in god?.God is everything to me.i always picture myself as a toddler full of foolishness and God as my parent.When i'm troubled,i talk to god 1-on-1.i feel so free.b4 i ask,he has acted.He knows what am thinking,going through,feeling and he speaks to me in different ways.It cud be a comment,a show,a book, anything.Without god,am as good as dead.he loves me like mad,far beyond what i can imagine.
