Why do you love God?

I was lost, drowning in my sins. Everything about my life felt hopeless, and I felt helpless. It all seemed pointless like I was void of anything that truly mattered.

Fear choked me. It entwined every part of me. I was afraid to go to sleep. Fearful that I might not wake up and have to spend eternity in Hell.

I honestly can’t even explain the stronghold of that type of fear and misery. Nothing made me happy or meant anything to me. Even the good days held a sadness to them. My soul longed for peace and love.

God had precisely what I needed and even more, than I desired or realized was possible. He called me and invited me and gave me a way out of my misery. He offered me salvation to take care of my sins and give me hope.

When I walked toward Him, He lifted my burden. God took it away and gave me the hope and peace my soul desired. That moment forever changed me. God saved me from my misery.

But it didn’t stop there.

He became my best friend, comforter, guide, waymaker, protector, and peace, and flooded my heart with love—so much love. Sometimes, its abundance spills over and blesses my heart in beautiful ways.

Now, my life has meaning and purpose. I see things like I’ve never seen them before. I get to walk and talk with the Creator of the Universe. Nothing compares to how my soul feels when God speaks to it, and I feel His presence.

His love is so great that I want to share it with others. I would love for everyone to feel this way.

The truth is that I love Him because of how He loves me.

He made a way for me to be saved and to become His daughter. He comes to me in my darkest times and comforts me. He protects me and helps me in ways that no one else can. Every day, in some way, He shows me His love.

It’s so much better felt than told. My words are not sufficient to fully explain God’s greatness. We have to experience Him for ourselves to understand truly. And once you do, you will never be the same.

Experiencing God is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. It gets better and better.
