(Sorry for repeating myself)

It may shock you or sound hard to take in, but I wasn't a believer from the start (since I've heared I have surprised some people here, them saying how much faith I have and how much I defend it). I went to church, the House of God, since young, but I wasn't going there because I wanted to but because I thought of it just like another social obligation. Divine interventions have happened in my life- including my life being saved (not once, but at least twice) and also my older sisters' and things that made a living Hell become Heaven. I know it was God-logic and physics and whatever are just inadequate here. However, it wasn't because of those reasons that I started believing. Besides, God doesn't want anyone to believe in Him by force, just because of a miracle or anything like that. He wants all to come near Him and be saved, yes. But we must do so using our own free will, that He granted us. God wants everyone to come to Him through love and love alone. Because God IS love. And it is thanks to God that we humans, His children, can exprerience, have and live the greatest thing in the world, love. He gave it to us- as He gave us so many more.

As I was in the semifinal and final grade of high school, I reconsidered how I viewed some things. As to "how the universe and humans came in existence", "why we exist" and such. And I said to myself "It can't be like this". The rest you probably know:)

Some refuse to believe because, as they claim, "I believe only what I can see with my eyes". I won't go into much length explaining so many things here (such as that mere mortal eyes cannot, by any means, withstand God in His glory-only if He allows it and that God is everywhere around you in the harmony,perfection and tranquility of His Creation). Well, hear this. You can't see the air but you know it's there by seeing its results. And mainly, by feeling it. Likewise, you feel God. And that feeling is called faith- which He gives you.
