Searching For The Truth


Sometimes I feel like everything that I have been taught in life about God is not enough. Like there is something more to God than just what I hear at Sunday school or at church. It's in times like these that God visits me and tells me things that other people would not understand. They wouldn't understand because each experience with God is unique and only God and that person will understand how it is really like.Today I searched for the truth and wisdom. I'll keep searching until the end of my days. Sure, I have certain things figured out, but knowing something is very different than believing in it. Have I really experienced the wonderful effects that God's love can bring? Or am I just living my life so that everyone around me can think that I'm a "good Christian?" Am I living for God or for people?Thoughts like these came to mind and I started wondering whether this was true. In certain areas of my life I saw that I did live for God but in other areas I wasn't doing such a good job at that. So I asked God for some advice. I asked God to guide me and show me the real truth. Show me how to live for Him and not always rely on people to tell me what to believe in. Sure, people can help me with their greater knowledge of God, but it is also important for me to see things for myself with God's help.So God showed this verse this morning:
Delight yourself in the LORD
and he will give you the desires of your heart.Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him and he will do this:
Psalm 37:4-5
I knew that if I delighted myself in the Lord, that he would give me discernment and wisdom to live my life for Him and for Him only. He told me to trust in Him. He told me to trust that He was going to help me follow Him and Him only.
By all that He has done for me so far, trusting in him will be a very easy task. But the process won't be so easy. But He is above all things and He will help me through.
I love Jesus. His love is enough for me.

I found your post from the Switchfoot boards. I notice you're my daughter's age.

I just want to comment that your thread about finding the truth and this particular post are both excellent. They get people thinking.
