I was never raised in church, I laughed at people who lived by the good book. I mocked people who always asked the Lord for help and never gave 2 shits about going to church to make myself believe I was a good person who would one day go to heaven.
Then I started growing up and things became complicated. I would work for more and acquire more, but it was never fulfilling enough. No matter what I had it never filled a hole in my heart I felt like I was walking around with constantly. Things started to feel wrong in my life.
When I felt like I had noplace else to turn to, when I was down and out and couldn't figure out how to deal with it, I finally walked into church one day and actually listened with an open mind. It felt like the preacher was talking directly to me through the rest of the crowd, it was like he was there just for me.
After that day I had unexplainable things happen to me. I mean crazy stuff that was beyond explanation, all positive things. I started looking for the good in life rather than focusing on the bad. That hole in my heart seemed like it was being filled and I was becoming whole again.
Once you experience these things you may be more open to establishing a relationship with God. The evil in the world is not God ignoring it, it's the lack of God in peoples lives. God doesn't show himself to you until you are open to accepting him and all that is good in life. When you begin to do the work of God and start living for the right reasons you'd be surprised at how much better life gets.
Trust me, I'm the last person you'd ever think would wander into a church lost, looking for help. It has changed my life. I never used to believe in God until things happened like watching the birth of my son. I can remember even as an Atheist praying one day to have a son, and I was blessed with a perfectly healthy son.
God is real if you accept him and he can perform miracles that are totally unexplainable. Just ask yourself one question...has the world gotten any better with the lack of God and faith people now have? The answer is no, but you don't have to live like everyone else either.
If you're ever feeling down and nothing you've done seems to make life fulfilling, just have an open mind and try it, it certainly can't hurt.
