I spent 22 years of my life believing and living for christianity and eventually it didnt make sense to me anymore, the promises the explanations, they just didnt work anymore.
And now, whenever i find a moment of honesty and say "Jesus...am i wrong? are you really there? ...if your there speak to me so i can know... show me that if i believe in you i wont just be on blind faith...show me i can really know, know without a doubt that your real..."
and i pray that prayer honestly...and i get nothing more than random little thoughts of what he might be saying back to me.
I dont understand you people...how do you believe in him when he gives so little for reassurances?
I know you have your life experiences and your many explanations and ideas, but its all just a world built on phrases and cliches and other unexplained things like nature.
I dont know how you guys doit.
How do you know, how do you know your not just jumping to conclusions and believing a nice fairy tale when he doesnt actually talk to you or get personally real with you?
