Gregory;
You have a big heart, and a sweet way of asking your questions.
When I met the Lord, I was by myself. I had built a fire, and was actually smoking pot, which was such a problem for me at the time, it really did not affect me anymore. I was not thinking of anything really, and suddenly I just felt an strong, euphoric feeling. As I said it was an uncontrollable case of smiles. I felt love sick inside, and have to admit that I knew it was G-d, and my experience at church came to me almost immediately. One strange thing that happened in my life was in my dreams. I shared with you I was not raised in a religious family, and only attended church once as a child. My father took offense at the sermon of world love, and called the minister a communist. I was never taken to church again.
After this experience, I began to dream about G-d, and found myself waking up praising him, hands raised, sometimes singing hymns I did not know that I knew. It was very strange. While the initial rush of feelings did not last after the first day, which would have been very impractical to still function, the feeling of G-d's love has not left me. I now take a very different, and more emotional approach to life. Sometimes I feel the presence of G-d, and it is still powerfull but for the most part I live by faith. I have had many other expriences with G-d which have made it impossible for me do doubt that he is there. I have moments of weakness and sin which I believe are evidence of unbelief, but for the most part I no longer doubt him.
Let me stop before I ramble on but feel free to continue if your still awake.
Yeshua knows you, loves you, and has a plan for you - DLL |
