John 14:6 Try Him
I receive confirmation that Jesus is the way, the light and the truth because of how many people try and sway me from believing it. A lot of religions are attacked but Christianity seems to upset people on an entirely different level. When I was practicing Buddhism no one seemed to question my faith, I'd post stuff and everyone would nod and agree and I wouldn't receive any kind of backlash or pushback. Then I was saved in Christ and the arguments started, the people came out of the woodwork trying to convince me otherwise, and I had to ask myself, why is that? Could it possibly be because it makes people feel convicted? Could it be that it brings light to areas the world wanted to stay shaded? Why does just the name Jesus alone stir people up? And when I ask that question, I get this answer. There's something about Jesus that makes people see the error of their ways, when I first came to know Him, I too pushed back because I began to feel guilty for what I had done, regretful in what I was doing. Then came the hesitation to continue to walk on that wrong path. All these feelings arose, the Light was shown upon things I wanted to keep hidden about myself. But eventually I stopped pushing back and allowed Him to change me internally because I realized it was for the better. I know He's real because of how many try and convince me He isn't. No other time in my life, but when I found Christ, did anyone try and change my mind or get me to live in a different way. I believe everyone truly deep down knows what believing in Jesus can do for your life and some people who know that want to keep you from Good things, they want to keep you from blessings, from favor, from the love, the peace and forgiveness that comes from God. But no thanks, I've been there done that and all it got me was some of the worst bouts of depression and the deepest feeling of loneliness I've ever had. I'd much rather believe in Jesus and know He is with me than to be out there thinking the answers are "within me", because I looked for years "internally" for the answers and came up with nothing but a void, a lacking, a longing desire BUT the second Jesus came to me, that void was filled, that longing was replaced by His love. Do I still have questions about life? Of course, Im human; but am I still lacking a sense of completeness? Not in the slightest. I no longer feel empty. I no longer feel alone. I know He is with me. I look at life differently now because I look at death differently. Im able to enjoy life more now because I know this isn't it. Living is eternal for me. I get to live out my days in the Light basking in His presence and even after "this life", I get to. I have peace and comfort after losing relatives now because I know I get to see them again, even better than they were before. I get to not fear death because I know what it brings. I cant imagine going through this life never having known Jesus, and thinking that this life is all there is. Im so thankful He found me. I didn't find Him. He found me and showed me that it was Him I was missing. I still get sad on days but I dont stay there in that sadness anymore because He rescued me from it. Get to know Him. I promise you it will be the greatest decision of your life. You've tried everything else, right? Why not try Jesus?
