Every now and then I come to a time that I review why I believe in God.  I read the creation story in Genesis 1&2 and enjoyed the thought-provoking contemplation that it brings.  Can such an awesome being exist?  Is there really an entity that can speak the entire universe into being?  Then I travel through my memories reviewing why I believe this to be true.

I start with remembering when I was at my lowest point, and I called out to God.  Somewhere in my inner being, I knew He was there.  He answered me, and my life changed dramatically from that moment.  I have walked a blessed life ever since that day.  He has spoken to me in the most intimate ways on a number of occasions.  God has directed my life in ways I didn’t understand at the time, but His ways have always brought blessing.  When hard times came, my Lord was always there to guide me through.  We have a long term relationship that is ever growing.

So as hard as it is to imagine a being who could speak the entire universe into existence, I have a personal relationship with Him.  I communicate with Him on a daily basis.  He speaks to me.   God loves me, and I love Him.  I see His beauty in all that He created.  I say yes!  There is a being who spoke the entire universe into existence.  I believe because I have experienced Him.
