No God?

For you to convince me that there is not a God you would first have to convince me that I am not breathing...you would have to convince me that my children or that my husband or sisters or friends are not real. My faith is not based on stories or what someone else says. My faith is based on a relationship with the most amazing Creator. He is my best friend, my Father, my very breath. He is in my childhood memories! He was there when my Father died when I was three. He was there when the burglar tried to break in our house. He was with me on the playground. With me in the classroom. Always in my heart guiding and protecting me. With me in the awkward co-ed P.E. class. He is in the soft breeze that plays across my face. He is in the rain as it pounds heavily on the ground. He is in the storm. He is in the sun as it warms and caresses my very soul. He is in the birds that play on my porch. He is everywhere and He was everywhere and He will continue to be EVERYWHERE! When I look through family photos He is there.You may not see Him, but He is there...and He will always be there! So, you can't convince me...seriously...I have already weathered many storms in my young life. I have lost a parent, almost died four times with one time being so close to deaths door I could feel myself dying. I have been betrayed by people whom I trusted and loved. I have fallen and committed various sins. And still He is always there. He is always constant. He remains. Maybe your faith was lost because it was never really there. Maybe your faith was lost because you let God be defined by the winds that moved you. Maybe your faith was lost because God stopped being your sugar-daddy. He stopped giving you everything you wanted. Maybe your faith was lost because when He wanted you to love Him even when he didn't move your mountain...you couldn't. Maybe your faith was lost because your root system was only surface deep. I don't know....but my faith...my faith is rooted...deeply rooted as a Poplar tree...I don't believe in a mythical creature that sits beyond the stars playing games with his creation. I know the Creator, we have a relationship. Once you have been in a relationship this intense there is no way to deny His existence. So, you can keep trying to convince me. But I am starting to wonder if your really just trying to remind yourself...to not believe...to stop hearing His voice. For I know He still speaks to you. Once you have loved Him...you can't unlove Him...it's impossible...it can't be done! Now that's the truth pure and simple.
