You ask me
how I can believe in God.
How I can have faith in something I cannot see.
You want proof of God?
Will you settle for proof of God's love?
Look at me
I am proof of His love
Look at my life
at where I have been
where I am
where I am heading
I had a year when I went to funerals
every month
and not older people either
friends of mine
12 lost in a year
do you know how many that is????
I was nearly number 13
I was only 13 years old!!!
I lost them one by one
I should have died with them
but I didn't
I kept living
I can count how many times I should have been dead
some of the stupid things I have done
yet I kept having my life handed back to me
and yes there was a time I hated God
I could not fathom why I had to lose so many
why I had to live the way I lived
I have not had an easy life by anyone's standards
but I don't regret the way my life has been
I like who I am becoming
and everything I went through
has led me to becoming that person
You want proof of God?
ask a prophet
you want proof of His love?
just ask me
I am who I am today because of the trials of my life
I am still alive today
because of the things I believe
I know how blessed I have been
and I can't ever lose sight of that
I am living proof of God's capacity to love.



Remember God won't bring you to anything he can't bring you through. This is dedicated to our Tuesday night prayer groups and the friends I have made there
