In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. (John 1:1-2)It is hard to imagine a God that is forever. In fact it is one of the hardest things to think about that there is.
But there are lots of things that are hard to understand in life, yet we just accept them.
For instance, I am writing this on a computer. I am not too bad on computers, yet I really do not have any idea how it is that they work. To be honest, I have not yet met anyone who really does. They might be good at computers, but they still do not know.
The same with internal combustion engines. I know basically how they do it, but I cannot imagine the stress on a machine that explodes constantly and how it keeps on moving.
Electricity comes to mind, too. My father was an electrician and I understand the basic principles, but it still remains a mystery. There are others, too. the conception of a child. In fact, sex itself. How it is our hearts keep beating for almost a century sometimes. A microwave oven, TV images – the list could go on.
Yet even though I do not understand them, I still accept them. and I use them in my life. But then when it comes to God, even though most people do not understand a lot of other stuff, they will balk at a God they cannot understand.
But he is real. You can see him in nature, in the order of the universe, in the seasons, sometimes strongly in people’s lives.
Psalm 19 says:
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship.Romans 1:20 says:
Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.
ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature.Give him a chance and let him show himself to you. He will do it through his Son, Jesus. Jesus was that Word from God that told people about God. Listen to him, read about him and let him into your heart.
He loves you.

You are welcome to say anything you want as long as it is nice. If I don't like it, or it is ugly, I will take it off, place it into the garbage disposal, grind it up, and allow it to be flushed into the Gulf of Mexico where it will be eaten by a fish and then excreted where it will lie on the bottom of the ocean until it is covered up by other comments.
