acresofhopeI had a talk not too long ago with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ferretgirl_1124, and somehow things got around to the spiritual. I can't remember exact details (which makes me wish I kept logs), but it started me thinking. She mentioned that there are miracles that happen in all different kinds of religions. I said that I believe there are lots of spiritual beings out there, but I give the title of God to only one. She asked why, and I said He's most powerful...but after further reflection, I don't think that's quite it. Not entirely, anyway.
So, after some thinking and a few episodes of Stargate SG-1 (long story), I asked myself why exactly I worship the God of the Bible. I'm not sure if I have a full understanding of it, or at least not an understanding I can put into words. He created all things and is sovereign over all things. And I love Him. Those are really the only two reasons I have.
To be honest, I'm not sure how I even came to believe in Him. It was like falling in love...it kind of just happened. I guess if I could all it anything, I'd call it a miracle. And even though I've had my times of darkness and I'm just the most horrible person on the planet, He always brings me up from it. *laugh* I guess I just can't help but worship Someone like Him. He's irresistible to me.
