“There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”

I've been reading so much recently how Christianity (or all religion, for that matter) is just an emotional crutch for ones that are weak and are not willing to place blame on themselves for the consequences of their life. Today I read that an Atheist organization has plastered ads on buses in London:


When I came to Christ about 4 years ago, I was an emotional wreck. I don't really know what I was going through or what I was thinking, but I think I secretly wanted something to make me feel better about the issues of my life. During my time dealing with depression, I found God. Therefore, I used to wonder if my faith came just from my wishful hopes that my life was not in my hands. It is a question that I used to always come back to during my times of doubt.

During my walk with Christ, it's amazing to see how God has taught me so much. How can we submit to God and understand His great majesty, if we don't acknowledge our own weakness? When we are satisfied with what the world is offering, we are too full of pride in ourselves to realize that there is a God. It is often brokenness God uses to bring people into the truth.

With that said, I believe with all my entirety when I say that my faith is NOT a delusion. I am not looking for a way out of blame or fear of uncertainty. In response to the Atheist campaign, a life poured out to Christ does entail worries and convictions that non-Christians often never face. However, for me, it is only a life with Christ that I can fully enjoy life. With God's word, I get the privilege of knowing God's wonders and how He works. With prayer and time with God, I receive peace about unsettling situations knowing that God's timing and wisdom overcomes any human understanding. Just knowing God and what He has done has allowed to accept my past, enjoy the present, and look forward to the future.
