What is your short story or one sentence, Why Do You love God?

[URAVIP2ME]

I am Thankful to God, for the wonderful design of the human body and all it can do!

Thankful for prayer (1st Timothy 2:5) because when I prayed at a funeral parlor and realized the dead person just died and was Not executed as Jesus was and God took care of Jesus then he would take care of the dead person and me.
Being thankful to God and expressing gratitude to Him then He gives peace beyond what we can expect. lasting peace.
- Psalm 55:22

 

[URAVIP2ME]

I know that God cares but one way God shows His caring is by sending people who care, people like @walt.
I am sure God is really tired of listening to me throw all my cares on Him, day and night!

God is up all night anyway, so I'm sure He does Not get tired of listening - See Isaiah 40:28; Psalm 121:4

 

[Kenny]

That does not help me now, even if it is true, and of course nobody knows that it is true, they can only believe it is true.
But I don't expect you to understand since you have not walked in my moccasins.

Yes… we all have different moccasins. My wife’s moccasins were pretty horrible too.

Maybe some people do but I did not create my own problems.

I’m sorry… I wasn’t inferring that you did. My apology if it came across that way

I know that God understands but that does not help me get through everyday life.

I’d like to think of the footprints on that one

I did not interpret anything, I just posted Isaiah 45:7 as it was recorded.
How do you think Jesus would interpret that verse?

It’s the thief that steals, kills and destroys but Jesus came to give life and that more abundantly
In Him was light and there was no darkness at all

 

[Trailblazer]

No, God never sleeps. I was just kidding.

 

[walt]

I also have a real life story about myself, where I was a complete wreck the worst you can imagine and what helped me, but I'm not sure I want to post it here.

I will do a private conversation tomorrow.

That's true. In Jesus was light and there was no darkness at all.

Throw all your anxiety onto him, because he cares about you. --1 Peter 5:7

 

[Trailblazer]

Yes… we all have different moccasins. My wife’s moccasins were pretty horrible too.

My late husband's moccasins were horrible too but now he has no moccasins at all.
I still have moccasins but it is difficult to walk alone when you have had someone by your side for 37 years.
Nobody can really understand how that feels until it happens to them.

At first I didn't feel God's help at all. Then I focused on these two scriptures and these gave me hope and strength.


Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.. --James 4:8


Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.’ --Isaiah 41:10

 

[Trailblazer]

At first I didn't feel God's help at all. Then I focused on these two scriptures and these gave me hope and strength.

There are two Baha'i prayers I say repeatedly when I am walking. I have been saying them for years.

Is there any Remover of difficulties save God? Say: Praised be God! He is God! All are His servants, and all abide by His bidding The Báb

Say: God sufficeth all things above all things, and nothing in the heavens or in the earth but God sufficeth. Verily, He is in Himself the Knower, the Sustainer, the Omnipotent. The Báb

More recently, I memorized the following prayer so I say it too.

I adjure Thee by Thy might, O my God! Let no harm beset me in times of tests, and in moments of heedlessness guide my steps aright through Thine inspiration. Thou art God, potent art Thou to do what Thou desirest. No one can withstand Thy Will or thwart Thy Purpose. The Báb

That is so comforting to have words that can stabilize your feelings throughout the day and bring you peace of mind and joy. I send you happiness and I hope for the best for each of your days of walking in this life.

 

[walt]

I Imagine and Meditate My Greatest Joy is to do My Father's Will.

I received these words from a Brother that was Paralyzed from the Neck down.

These Words give me Never Ending Strength, Power and Huge amounts of Joy. ˖⁺‧₊˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖

Would you be interested in sending me a link to your information? And I will provide you with a link to the brochure online: Was Life Created?

And we will both take a look and see the information. I am ready to look at your information whenever you have the link. Thanks.

There is no "one link".

And no, I'm not interested in religious propaganda.
If you have scientific papers to link, be my guest. But I already know that you don't have such, because in that case I would already know about it.

You have the right to call it religious propaganda, but the part I am talking about is the brochure about creation, That's it.

We have two main bronchi in your right and left lungs that divide and branch off into smaller segments, like tree branches. At the end of your bronchi, the alveoli exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.There are 300 million alveoli in (each) lung.

I smell an argument from complexity / incredulity in the making.

Who designed and made the lungs, that we need to breathe in our first breath, in the first second of life? We all need complete lungs, bloodstream, heart, nervous system and brain and many other vital organs In the first second of life, even 10 minutes later, would be too long waiting!

"who" = loaded question.
And the answer is not a "who". It's a "what". And that what is the process of evolution.

God loved everyone so very much before we were even born, and continues to love us.

Your preaching is noted, but irrelevant.

Even after a billion years would cream and sugar ever get into your coffee cup all by itself? No!

False analogy

Don't you think for a person to begin to believe in evolution, they must first believe, that each step happens all by itself.

I don't "believe" in evolution any more then I "believe" in gravity or how a river cuts through soil to create a canyon.
Instead, I accept it as the best explanation accounting for all the available evidence and capable of predicting additional evidence.

Humans can build a robotic assembly line to make automobiles, and all kinds of things get done all by themselves, because a human with intelligence designed and built the robotic assembly line.

Robotic assembly lines aren't self-reproducing entities that replicate with variation that are in a struggle for survival.
False analogy again.

Evolution does not give credit to anyone being responsible for designing or making anything, every bit of it happens all by itself!

Because it's not required. There is no evidence for any "entity" at the steering wheel and there is no need for it.

Think about it if there was only one organ first the heart, would the heart survive, waiting for the bloodstream to evolve? Would not all the vital organs need to exist all at the same exact time for each organ's survival? The lungs, bloodstream, heart, nervous system, brain and other vital organs all need to be present, all at the same time in order for any of the organs to survive the next few hours!

Evolution is a gradual process. Your comment here exposes a vast ignorance on how it works. So vast, that I don't even know where to begin to correct the many errors you managed to pack into a single sentence. Your entire comment is in the category of "not even wrong".

Because evolution is gradual, there is no such thing as "half a lung" or "half a heart" or "half a brain". There are no crockoducks in evolution.
You also seem unaware of the many states of "being" in biology.

What if a few vital organs were formed, but either the bloodstream, the brain and the lungs had not evolved yet, how many hours would the first few organs survive?

It doesn't work that way.

Without all the vital organs fully formed at the same time? That's why they are called vital organs, all the vital organs must be fully complete, and working properly in order for any of the organs to survive! And what else is needed for life to continue to exist?

Go compare an octopus to a human in terms of "organs".
Mammals aren't the only species alive.

Evolution is gradual. All systems evolve simultanously.
There is no such thing as "half a creature". Every stage of evolution is a "complete organism" in its own right.


A good analogy to understand this is the development of language.
The ancestors of spanish speaking folk spoke latin.

There is however no such thing as "half-spanish".
Every generation between latin and spanish spoke a "complete language".
Micro-changes over generations occurred. Slowly and gradually changing latin into modern-day spanish.

I would like to believe that the meeting of my wife was actually God ordained. All the circumstances that lead up to the statistically improbable encounter was a three year prayer of my future wife from 11 - 14 years of age.

Every encounter of people is statistically improbable.

You have the right to call it religious propaganda, but the part I am talking about is the brochure about creation, That's it.

You are telling me that you have a "brochure" about "creation" which is not religious in nature?

Please.

 

[walt]

You are telling me that you have a "brochure" about "creation" which is not religious in nature?

Please.

Please allow me to extend you some kindness in return.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Please allow me to extend you some kindness in return.

Not sure what you think your point is.
Being kind is not going to make any difference.

I am convinced that at certain times in our lives, God moves in a way which is personal, merciful, and miraculous. Things have happened in my life which I ascribe absolutely to divine providence.

I am aware how easy it is to dismiss this belief using logic and reason, and how impossible it is to justify it using only those tools. But we don’t have only those tools; we also have the Grace of God - in my case a gift that was quite unearned.
