Up until this Sunday, I had been having problems for about a week. I'd been angry at God, calling Him names, turned away from His will, stopped reading my Bible completely, and a few other things. I finally got to the point where I realized life wasn't fun anymore without Him. I was being dragged down by the enemy, and my thoughts were extremely clouded. There were a few times where, just for a few seconds, I had the mind and eyes of Christ, and I could see everything for what it truly was. I bowed down, closed my eyes, and begged God for forgiveness because I couldn't go on without Him. I felt the same as I had until a few hours later. Then something just "clicked" in my mind, and I was instantly happy. I was amazed to say the least. Before I went to bed that night, I prayed and thanked Him, and remembered my church is holding a youth conference this Thursday - Saturday, and I asked Him to use me in a big way, and to completely rock my world at the conference so I can continue in His will; so I could go on strong with fresh insight and motivation. Today, He's given that to me. I meditated, and placed myself into whatever popped into mind. I was on a flying carpet (lol), Jesus just popped up right next to me, gave me a great hug, and we just went on like nothing never happened! So far I'm going to be greeting and ushering, I'm getting other people serving, and there's plans on speaking into someone's life. I'm so thankful for what God has done! Hoping and praying my life get's changed at the conference, and for other peoples' lives to get changed!

Thank you for sharing that, it really is inspirational and I can also relate to it.

Several years ago, I was so angry and discontent with God that I told that I know that You exist but I don't care anymore "Goodbye Lord".

Some time passed but I realized that it wasn't God's fault, it my own desires that were wrong and misguided. I also realized that a life without God is not a life. God embraced me again as the prodigal son and I'm so grateful for that!

For a while I was getting caught up with the old testament image that sometimes shows a God of wrath, and the many arguments that call him evil. Well it was like one step backwards and two steps forward for my mind. How dare I, to say something bad about God, and yet rather then punish me he instead shows me he is twice as good and blesses me. Strange is his way, and holy is his day.
