My experience 

      tells me 

that there is a God, 

  and that He is 

loving, kind & just... 

   that He is a 

       personal God...

theology & doctrine

    are great...

they come 

   from men's 

journey to understand

    Him better, 

  and are a useful

     learning tool... 

  but ultimately

it is my experience

    that convinces 

me that 

      God is real, 

             & 

      that He is 

               personal, 

 & that Jesus is 

     the Son of God

 and that through 

     Him alone

do I have peace

        & am 

free from

         the slavery

of the world. 

 I firmly believe 

& know

    that there is 

logical, 

     scientific, 

         reasonable 

   proof

       of the things

that I have come 

         to believe, 

studying these 

     have helped

  develop & strengthen 

my understanding

         of God, 

however, 

    all the reasoning

         & proof

in the world 

     will not convince 

one of truth

   

   if they are 

not ready 

           and 

             willing 

to accept it. 

  This is my 

       burden 

          & 

           my heartache;

my quest 

     & 

    my journey... 

to allow 

      Christ

           to love

through me 

      & 

    in me... 

to bring peace, 

    and to shine

         through me... 

God open 

      their eyes...
