“There is A god”
I am no better person than anyone else in the world…I used to think so but now I know that whatever I have is from God, and anything good I have is from him.
I always believed there was A God… Just not the God that anyone would describe.
Looking back I think that it is funny that one hand I rejected anything people told me, but I held out the belief that there must be some sort of creator…
It never hit me that if there is something out there so powerful that can create everything, then I should make an effort to investigate, or even consider the security of beleiving in something so powerful, knowing nothing about it, and ignoring it.
This was even as I called myself an atheist, I said to myself ‘there is a God’…Knowing the definition of a God…All powerful and all knowing, but the two facts never joined up in my mind - that there is a god and that god knows everything and made everything, and can do anything.
How could I move closer to knowing god or make the effort to find out about god? I couldn’t because I was too ignorant, but God made himself known to me, and then I started to learn more about God - About his mercy and love.
my experience reminds me of what St. Paul said in Acts ch 17: Verse 23
For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.
