How to find God
You may be afraid to let God into your life. This might mean a change in your lifestyle. But consider what God offers to those who love Him. He offers a changed and purposeful life, an inner healing, and a peace and joy that the world cannot give.
God offers a friendship and love that is beyond all understanding. And a life after death "such that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those that love Him." When you call me, when you pray to me, The second sure way to find God is... follow His commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. If we live selfish lives, don’t be surprised if God seems distant or irrelevant. But if we try to help the needy and the hurting, we will find God. I met a woman who lives in a room above a store in the run-down section of the city. She has been unemployed for many years and was recently discharged from hospital after suffering her second heart attack. Her brother, who has made a lot of money in real estate, does not help her. Is there a person in your life that needs your help? Many places in the Bible show that love of neighbor... doing what we can to help others... will always be important in finding God. Try to reach out to someone who needs help with a visit, a telephone call, or financial assistance. A woman suffering from depression was asked to bake cookies for people in an old age home. To her surprise, the love and joy that she received drove away her depression. Don’t look for thanks. Often you will not find it, or it may come later. Finding God is your reward.
A third way to find God is... attend a spiritual retreat. Here you will meet others who are also searching for God.
