[QUOTE="Ishmael, post: 63894, member: 532"] I was always under the impression that God and faith was for those of lesser wills, ones that could simply believe in something that doesn't hold logical weight. I struggled very hard with the concept of believing in a God who I couldn't even recount what He had done for me, let alone tell you how I was touched or any other fact. As far as I was concerned He did not exist. I opened my heart and willingly searched and He flooded my mind first. He met me where I was and enticed my logic and intelligence first. He showed me truths and patterns in ancient texts and showed me the same line many others see in the Bible. I have a slew of my own problems with the Bible, but many of [B][I]other[/I][/B] people's problems I also found being solved. God was telling me to share a God that doesn't rely on blind faith and ridiculous statements. One that can show you a tangible spiritual reality. I legitimately thought I was completely closed off from anything spiritual until recently. The touch of the Lord I experienced recently was the best feeling I've ever felt in my body. I pray for you all, and love you all. [/QUOTE]
