Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven - for she loved much.
But he who has been forgiven little loves little.
- Luke 7:47
I suppose if you asked me why I am looking for God, my answer would not be simple. Sometimes, I turn to god for forgiveness. Other times I turn to him for answers, to questions I don't even know. There are days when I turn to God for love, and for me he is the father I have needed in my life. Lately, I find myself turning to God simply to give thanks, for all he has done, and all he will do.
I cannot honestly say that I have had faith in God all my life. Growing up as a child in a house with many problems, you sometimes find you can't always believe in something you can't see. No matter how hard i wanted to believe that god loved me, there were too many things pointing out he didn't. My family was never religious, so God was never really brought into my life. There for, I had to go looking for him.
Now, at the age of fifteen, I have a better understanding of who I am, and who God has helped me to become. Though, I only recently found myself looking to God once again. I feel his presence daily, and see him in every small thing I do.
So this is my path to God, the small things he does for me. The many questions I will have. The reasons I keep pushing on, and the troubles I will face. These are the scriptures that mean the most to me. They are the moments i feel the closest to god, and they are also the time when I feel as if God couldn't be further away.
This is my road, the one I built myself, it's my time to walk down it.
