Does God Exist?

The Answer Is Simple

Does God Exist?
Wikipedia

Does God exist? This question for me is considered very controversial. I feel that if I consider asking the question I am questioning my faith. I immediately agree that he must exist. Those beautiful landscapes that dress the earth had to be created by a genius. What we really have to ask ourselves now is why are we afraid to question?

Jehovah witness

I had started attending Jehovah witness meetings since I was in my mother's womb. I dressed pretty and took notes. But one day I just stopped going. I felt dirty in a way. I convinced myself that I was a sinner and that God would no longer answer my prayers. When I wasn't going to the meetings my mother would sometimes guilt trip me. I would get visitations from the sisters who would proceed to giving me Bible lessons. I felt like a bad person.

Now

Currently I am twenty three working adult. I see the world through different lenses. I believe that we are so preoccupied looking for answers we do not see what is in front of us. We have so many different religions who are yelling at the world that they are the right path. We often go with the one that best suits us. Which is the right religion?

1 John 4:8


"The person who doesn't love does not know God, because God is love" We show we know God when we love, He is love. Regardless if your neighbor is gay, Muslim, black, white etc we have to love them. It's going to be hard in this world that is fueled by hate and ignorance but let's start with you, Have you loved today?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
