Air..Do you need to breathe it?

[Jadee Slayton]

I was aksed this today......A) How old were you when someone told you there was a God B) Why didn't you ask for proof?


I wasn't taught there's a God. There was never anyone to tell me there's a God. It's something I personally choose to believe in. It's faith in the things I can't see like the air. Without air my body would die, so I know my physical life depends on something I can't see. It's the same thing for my soul. The existence & continuation of it depends on something I can't see..GOD & his spirit. It's in all of us. He doesn't want us fighting, but rather open our minds to the possibility of him!

I don't need proof that God exists. Just like I don't need proof that air exists. I know I depend on it and must breathe air to stay alive. I apply the same way of thinking to the "bigger picture" of LIFE.

I don't need proof that God exists because I know that I depend on him and need him for the survival of my soul.

What does it hurt to believe in something bigger and better than this life. It can't hurt to believe, but it can hurt to NOT believe.

Let's say there's no afterlife...No Heaven or Hell, and while we're here on EARTH living our lives, we choose to believe in God and Heaven, but then it turns out those things don't exist and we just go to sleep when we die....Then it didn't hurt anything to believe while we lived, and it also brought us peace and happiness during the journey.

Let's say Heaven and Hell does exist, and they are, in fact, for real. When we die, there is an afterlife and a place for our souls, our spirits to continue on. Let's say it's real. If we choose to live a life of not believing in it, then we lose a lot when we pass on. We lose our soul.

The physical body dies without air and the spirit of our soul dies without God. We die, we perish in an afterworld of sorrow and pain, unending.

If we choose to believe in the positive, the good, the light at the end of the tunnel. If we choose to believe in a "better place" that God has waiting for us. If we choose to believe in the rewards of our creator, then it can't hurt anything, and we are also choosing eternal life. We are choosing for our souls to continue on and be a part of something greater than any of us.

God is Everything...If you can see a tree outside, blowing in the wind, then you've saw God.
If you can see the Ocean's vastness, you've saw God.
If you can see the sun shining on the grass, and butterflies fluttering by, you've saw God..Do not deny.
If you see the birds flying about the sky or snow falling on a winter night, you've saw God.
If you see yourself and know you are alive, you see God and all will be all right.
God loves you, God loves I....Until the very ending of things, until the end of all time.
