BioHi.
(ok, right here, there was a witty yet incredibly stupid openning first line. I'm too selfconscious to leave it though, so you can settle for this.):
I love God. I know a lot of people don't believe in a god, or that Jesus is the Son of God, but I do. I believe that what He says in the Bible is true because of how he's changed my life. When I've needed, well, a savior, he's been there. He's been my friend when I had none. He's been my provider when I had no way. He's been my father - enough said.
I know it's hard to step out and believe in something you can't see or hear, but it's only when you let go of what you know and feel safe with, that real life starts to happen. That's what faith is all about. I don't know why God does certain things or why He allows certain things to happen (so please, PLEASE don't ask me. I get that too often.) All I know is that once I took my life out of my hands and stepped out of my comfort zone, I was able to give that life up and let go of the baggage I'd held onto for soooo long. If you want to find out if God is real, try Him. I'm totally serious. If you give Him a chance and truly offer your life up to Him, he'll prove himself to you and you won't be disappointed.
All you need to do is tell God that you want him to come into your life and change it. Tell him that despite what anyone else may say, you're willing to believe what the Bible says: that God sent Jesus, his son, to die on the cross for your sins - because he loved you that much - because you mattered that much to Him. And you don't have to remember some fancy prayer you learned in a church somewhere. Just talk to God like you'd talk to your best friend. He's not too busy for you.
So I guess that's it. It was nice to meet you . . . er, even though we didn't really.

PS: Ya, I'm ashamed of my own lameness. Sry
