I believe in God because I have experienced His mercy, His grace, His love; personally. I could tell so many stories, so many testimonies, on how God has walked with me, protected me, guided me, healed me, forgave me, showed me grace, saved me and even those I especially love. There is no way, that I would be where I am at today if it wasn’t for God. He has loved me deeply and unconditionally along my journey in life and continues to. As well as those I love and hold closest to my heart. I have gone through some hard things in my life, as most of us have; in our own ways, and some have gone through harder things than others. Maybe someday I will share some of my testimonies, but right now, I just want to fully convey God’s goodness, kindness, and His grace. Friend, we need God. I have found when I walk with Him, that though it does not make my life perfect or without some hardships, but it does make my life so much better. Because His closeness to us, and our closeness to Him, makes things better. May we walk with Him now and always. May we be able to look forward to being with Him in heaven someday. For where is goodness in life, if it isn’t fulfilled by the One whom gave us it. I could tell so many stories on why God is the best, but I think even if you stop and think about it friend, you too can see His goodness in your own life. Even just opening our Bibles, we can see it. What I am most grateful for in life, is that God didn’t just give me it, His love pursued me through it and still does, with a love beyond measure.
