There is a God....

Believe it or not, there is a God. I know this because the Bible, the Word of Truth, declares it is so. I know this, because I can look all around me and see His handiwork in creation. But most of all I know this, because I have seen how He works in a life. And most importantly...I have seen how He works in my life. And that blows me away. You may or may not believe in God, but that's ok. You don't have to believe in the truth in order for it to be true. It's just true, whether you believe it or not. But let me tell you why I believe there is a God and how I have seen Him work in my life.

My parents got divorced when I was about 10. As a single parent raising two kids, my mom struggled. My Nana and Poppy helped out when they could, but things were still tight. My mom did her best and got a job, but the bills still kept stacking up and there were times when we couldn't pay them all. Our church helped out a lot and for that I am truly thankful. I know God used people to reveal Himself to us during those days. And sometimes we didn't know who it was. I remember having very little food in the house and being very creative with what we had. I can still take almost anything and whip something together today. There wasn't much money for groceries. One day my mom came home to a bag full of groceries on the front door. No note, no letter. Just a bag of groceries. We have no idea who gave it to us. Another time someone anonymously gave us money in an envelope to use for groceries. These people were the hands of God and it's because of these acts, I know there is a God. He was showing Himself to us through these selfless acts of others. It was when we were at an all-time low that the Lord kept showing up and providing for our needs. We didn't have much, but I never went hungry. I was never without clothes and I was never without shelter. Because MY God provides for our needs and He reveals Himself to us in all kinds of ways; many times using others to be His hands and feet.

So you can judge for yourself whether you believe there is a God or not. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, because we know the truth: that there is a God and you can see glimpses of Him if you just look. And He can use even you to be His hands and feet to a lost and dying world.
