What makes em tick??
I am so interested in people’s convictions and lack thereof. You have your religious zealots, your luke warm religious folk, then there are the people who are passionate about knowing God (and not forcing it on anyone, just loving God) and then there are the ones that don’t believe in a personal God and don’t care!
I often wonder what leads people to believe what they believe. Some are following what their parents raised them to beleive, some are on a quest all their own, but how does one decide that God doesn’t exist?? Is it because they have never heard Him speak to them in a personal way, or because He doesn’t act like a genie in a bottle granting their every wish, whim and demand?? is it lack of evidence?? Or is it just easier to not pick a religion?
Personally, I think that it is better to serve no God than it is to serve a God you are unsure about. Outside of having a personal relationship with your God why would you want to bother? Especially with that nagging uncertainty that your god is who he claims to be?!
The human spirit is an amazing thing. Things of the spirit fascinate me so much. I honestly don’t understand how anyone could quit seeking in this life to find out if there is a God and what He wants from us. It has been the biggest thrill and adventure of my life! It has made me less judgmental and more loving. It has taught me how to see my attitude in a clearer light and how it effects those around me. It has helped me to love my enemies and not be imprisoned by hatred towards people who are not important in my daily life. It has helped me to let go of my past, my mistakes and I have learned how to create a better future for myself and my children and not at anyone’s expense! Seeking God has been a wonderful adventure, and an amazing journey. I look forward to more:)
