Well, hello. Nice to meet anyone reading this post. I am a believer seeking a relationship w/ Jesus and so far it is not going well but I'm trying and not I'm giving up entirely. I hope to make friends who can encourage me to do good and I intent to encourage others as well.
I grew up in what you can say is a "Christian" home if you count believing that Jesus existed and attending a Sunday church service "Christian"? I never knew you can actually have a personal relationship w/ Jesus. I doubt anyone in my family does. I thought Jesus was just a religion and all that stuff. My plan was just give to give up on anything that had to with God entirely and to ditch church as I soon as I get in college since there are no parents forcing you to go anywhere and maybe go to church for the sake of it once in a while after graduating.
I got interested in developing a relationship with Jesus multiple times before in the past because I was watching all these rapture videos on YT, and watching Youtubers talking about visions from God about events, and all this stuff that scared the crap out of me so I thought to myself "I need to get save before I get screwed". So I would read the Bible on end then just got bored w/ it and just continue living my life. I didn't get the whole repentance concept and prayed the Lord Prayer's multiple times and just thought it was just crap ( and still do). So now I'm genuinely want a relationship w/ Jesus because I see all these people talking about they talk to God and hear his voice, and the emptiness I'm feeling, and Jesus is the light of wo(men) in this dark world. I think that's crazy and amazing at the same time.
Apparently Jesus is real and I can have a relationship w/ him. Who would have thought?
