The Answerer

That’s OK. Youth is a time of discovering and trying out many things, not to mention school and making friends. Millions say the same thing and most of them in this country forget about God because life is so easy, maybe too easy. And some wait till they are old and start ‘Cramming for their finals’ to be sure they make it. The Bible says: “He is a reward-er of those that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6). If you really want to believe, just read your Bible. Start with the Gospel of John. (only takes two to three hours) Somehow, you will sometime notice an unseen helper and good things seem to come your way. Jesus knows you’re serious. He knows our thoughts. There can come a time in your life when a person who has believed in God for years has endured a very hard time in life. None of it was of their doing – just circumstances that hurt very deeply. It could be a war, a car smash, the death of someone who was loved very much had died. I have heard people on radio say that: “…the ‘thing’ was so devastating that I could no longer believe in an all-loving God anymore. I simply lost my faith.” It nearly happened to me after my fall, the wheelchair and all that! It certainly got my thinking wrong. Good, mature Christians helped me through. How? They had been down the same road themselves and really knew what it was like.
