https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/anne_GodIsReal/I was brought up in a religious home, with good morals and a basic belief in God. Though I followed all the religious norms of Christianity, I did not have the reality of a relationship with Christ, the founder. At age 13 I was introduced to Jesus as a Friend and since then I entered and have developed a deep and lasting relationship with Him. Jesus is now more real to me than the Sun in the sky, more real than the fish in the sea. He walk with me and talks with me every moment of every day. He is there when I feel Him and when I don't. He knows me from the inside out and loves me as I am. I have found acceptance and security in Him that I have found in no one else and no place elso on earth. I am writing this Blog so you can find Him in the way that I have. Blessings on you as you read!hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/anne_GodIsReal/580046THE OTHER SIDE OF FAITH Hebrews 11 has been called the faith chapter and rightly so, because it is the one place in the Bible where all the heroes of faith are paraded for us to see.
