I've been meaning to make this thread for a long time so here goes what God has done in my life and why I believe.
When I was in 8th grade, long before I was a christian, I prayed out of desperation for God to give me something to get me through and he gave me Robbie which probably doesn't mean much to you guys, but he kept me sane, I went to school for him alone but I didn't realize God had answered my prayer till much later.
My freshmen year I prayed again out of desperation for anything to get my through (Robbie only stayed till the first few weeks of freshmen year) the year and I again didn't realize God had answered till later but He then gave me Dane who didn't do much by way of sanity when talking with him but he talked me into joining the youth group where I went just to hang out with him, then he left and I went to chuch to see if he'd come back and in that time I realized God had been there the entire time.
Recently I asked God to come and change me and make me who he wanted me to be, one of the first things he did was give me a hunger to read my bible daily which I've done since camp which most of you have noticed. Another thing was having me ask to be on the worship team (singing) which is a leadership position so now I'm in leadership and its great because even when I wouldn't be able to find time, the chuch helps me make time for God and I have lots of people to support me and talk to.
If you asked me why I believe, I'd have to just say that he answers my prayers and I feel him. People have gone trying to disprove events in the bible and came back with more evidence suporting them than refuting. Its sad, but yes, most people aren't going to make it to heaven, the bible says that the road to hell is wide and the road to heaven is narrow. Few are worthy, none of us are worthy really but Jesus changed that by dieing on the cross.
So really, thats my reason, I just know. I can feel it and nothing anyone can say could take that feeling of joy away.
