One thing I know-- I found in my life that Jesus Christ is very Real-- and He really did raise from the dead over 2000 years ago.
I used to not believe in Him when I was a teenager, but when I turned 16, I became very ill. (part of my mercury problem)
I sought Him sincerely while being bedridden and reading the Bible, and praying, "God if you exist, please help me find you".,etc.
I was sincere-- I didnt challenge God to prove Himself, I felt a need for Him, and He went out of His way to meet me.
After that, things in the Bible opened up to me -- I could read things and the Holy Spirit would enlighten me on what they meant-- What He wanted to show me would sink in better than if any other teacher tried to teach me.
Even though I have not always been obedient throughout the rest of my life since then-- and have sadly grieved God many times, -- God always manages to pull me back to the fold-- and I learn even greater lessons from my mistakes, never to make the same mistake.
My mistakes have also taught me humility where once I would brag that I was too good a person. God showed me true goodness is not from our own human nature. True goodness comes from Him-- and we can choose to be vessels to express Him or not.
Anyway, Since first meeting Jesus back when I was 16 -- I have felt Jesus's presence near me many times when going through trials. I have even heard Him speak to my heart as well. Words can not express how He does this and how beautiful His tone is-- Anytime He speaks, He also creates something inside of you that makes you change for the better.
I'm a firm believer that the worst hardened murder/criminal is loved by Him and can be changed by Him-- No human was ever a waste, no matter what they did in life. Jesus can restore anyone.
God bless Boldylocks
