What is it that makes you believe in GOD?

basically in what way has God touched you that made a difference in your life? Did this make you a believer or were you always a believer?

well, when I was young I was told to believe, but I got old I realized that I do believe....I have been able to see that there is so much to be thankful for and on day I realized to start appreciating what I have because there are other's without. My life ain't been all peaches and cream, but I learned that it is really good compared and from since then I realized how blessed I am...

I don't go to church and all of that, but then I am so thankful and so emotional that the idea of church kind of scares me because I figure I may just breakdown and one of the ppl running up and down the isles. I have found over the years I am much softer, little things make me cry and make me give praise, and it seems that there are signs all around to show me how greatful I should be. I really can't say what got me here, but I love life, and I am thankful for it! I smile everyday, and if I am miserable, I don't want anyone else miserable with me. All of my friends kind of see me as their rock and I just wish they could be were I am granted I am in no way perfect, but I just want them to realize that happiness is something they can choose and fight for!

Oh gosh...how much time do you have?

An easier question would be in what ways hasn't He touched me?

Friends who knew me before I decided to have a personal relationship with Him can attest to the fact that I am a changed person. I always believed in Him, but I didn't know Him for myself...I was introduced to God by my parents, but there came a point in my life where I had to take a stand on what I believed...for my self.

I have seen family members and friends addicted to drugs and alcohol, and are completely changed now because they turned their addiction over to Him.

There is a constant joy in my life! I used to get depressed and down about everything...no man, no money, etc...now nothing gets me down! (and I kid you not when I say nothing) I've learned that "peace is not the absence of problems, but the presence of God." - Unknown. I don't let things get to me because I know that this earth is not my final home...paradise awaits me when this world comes to an end...that blessed hope keeps me going day to day. That same hope allows me to celebrate when I attend funeral services for someone who falls asleep in Christ.

I truly feel sorry for those who don't believe in God, or don't have that relationship, because I know the joy that I feel. (no, I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else...so don't take it there (not directed to you specifically terryfab))

I'll stop here, but I just get so excited when I talk about my relationship with Him.
