ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, I didn't love God; I didn't even know God. I didn't think much of Him because I didn't know he was real. I thought I was better off an atheist (thinking that 'cool' and intelligent people wouldn't believe in God). I didn't grow up among religious people so I didn't read the Bible either. And I thought religion was boring and corny. My habits and behaviour were often self-destructive. Then one day, I just got tired of all the worldly things I'd been doing and prayed to be free from constant stress, disappointments and frustration. I started a journal and wrote the exact words, "Dear God, will you please reveal yourself to me, because I don't even know who you are and I don't know HOW to love you. I could really use some genuine love right now and people say that only YOU can do that." It was the most peaceful thing I have experienced in my life because I slept like a baby that night, and God has been working in my life up to this point to give me the peace and joy that is a result of truly being reconciled with Him.
Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
