Tell us why do you believe? When the world says your crazy what is it that compells you to follow someone you've never met, believe in an unseen God?
I believe not only because I grew up in a christian family but because when I was 16, at a crucial turning point in my life, the LORD intervened and saved me. I was at a youth camp listening to a song which broke me...I realised that the LORD had forgiven me but I had not forgive myself for being the person I was becoming. I felt I wasn't worthy of such a sacrifice. When I realised this a huge weight was lifted of my shoulder and I accepted the LORD's UNCONDITIONAL love wholeheartedly.
It gave me the strength to say NO to a major crisis in my life and turn back from a road leading to Satan. I began a personal relationship with the LORD which nothing and no one can ever replace.
What is it that compells me to believe?? It's me. I could have been one of Satan's little helpers but because the LORD made me a new person, restored my innocence, gave me beauty for ashes...I am the LORD's daughter...imperfect and beautiful all at the same time.
If anyone reads this please don't think i'm bragging...I know my place...I am one of many, many daughters, many children through the generations.
So why do you believe?

good stuff Tali! I believe because there is no denying HIM, no one can prove He does not exist. I believe because I was one of the worst people ever and He saved ME....and loves me and turned my entire world around. He brings me joy, He reaches down from on high and pulls me out of deep water, He was the only one who would get down in the miry pit with me and help me up.....He gave me a child when every doctor and specialist stated that it was impossible (nothing is impossible with our God). He gave me a family at my church that I have never experienced in my life. He gave me a friend in Australia!!!! He healed me of all the betrayals and broken promises, He walked me through those valleys of death that without Him I know I would not make it---HIM HIM HIM the whole world is about HIM. He was there before, He is here now and He will be here later---He is the same yesterday, today and forever....I believe simply because....He is the I AM..
Love ya, Lill
amen Lill!!! our lives are in his hands!
