Purpose.
What is the point of this life if there was no God?
If there was no God and the world came about in a huge bang and we evolved from amoebas, no thought involved - we just happened. Bang. And we miraculously evolved, our bodies intricately functioning together and our environment so perfectly in synch.
If there is no God and we came from a bang, an accident, a freak of 'nature' - then what is the point of this life? Why are we here? If our lives are so essentially meaningless, what's the point of living? If we are all going to die anyways, why bother getting an education? A job? A family? I might as well just give up.
With no purpose our very existence is pointless.
But my God gives me purpose. He puts importance on my life. He puts value on me.
We are not on this planet on some hit and miss mission hoping maybe we will get this thing called life right. Maybe I'll try this relationship, this drug or this fad and maybe, just maybe, I'll get it right. No. We are here for a purpose, a God given, God breathed purpose. You are not an accident.
I guess I am trying to understand how someone can believe that there is no God. I guess I am trying to understand how someone can judge God based on the bad things of the world and say He doesn't exist and that if He does He is a bad God. When its by the choices us humans are making and have made that these things have happened.
Yes, my God is a HUGE God, and there are a lot of things still I don't understand about the whys and hows of what He does. There has been countless amount of times I've looked up at the heavens and sighed "Why God?" But at the end of the day I just have to look around and see all the good things He IS doing.
To believe there is no God is such a cop out.
Week in and week out I am seeing peoples lives be transformed by His love, families are being restored, and people being healed. I just have to look at my own life and the journey I have traveled to see the amazing grace and mercy He has given me. I am living a life transformed.
The Truth has been revealed to me and I refuse to deny it.

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God-you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration-what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.
Psalm 139:13-16 (The Message)
