Does God Exist?

What do you think?

There are those who deny the existence of God. I was once one of them. I could not accept that God was real. But looking back, I can recognise that my desire to reject Him was based more on a dislike of Him than on a conviction of His non-existence. I thought that if there was a God, He must be a very unpleasant individual to allow all the suffering on earth. It was only when I had an encounter with God that my position changed. I
experienced His love moving and working within me, and I knew then that I had got things wrong, badly wrong. Far from being an unloving Deity whom I could despise for His cruelty, I discovered that He was the most loving Being in the universe, that He only ever acted out of love, and that He had a plan to heal the suffering of all. My eyes were also opened to the true cause of suffering. Far from God being its author, I saw that it was a consequence of sin, and that sin originated with Satan, not God. If you do not yet believe in God, I pray that you will meet Him as I did. If you do, I pray that you will choose to meet with Him daily and so live in His love.
