How do you believe? How do you do it? How do I give up everything for that which I cannot experience?

What a wonderful day!!!
You're no longer an atheist, my friend! SomeOne is speaking to your heart, and you're listening! *WW does a cartwheel*
How do you believe? You're doing it, my friend! Seeking is the first step. You know in your heart that He's out there. You're feeling in the dark for the shapes, you're looking for answers.
You're hungry, my friend, you're going to be fed. You're seeking, and you're going to find.
You've realized that there's a seed inside of you, and if you water and care for that seed, it's going to sprout and grow and grow and grow! You won't be able to contain it! I feel so excited for you, my friend! Wow!
Read the New Testament, and when you read it don't just skim the words. Pronounce each syllable in your mind and understand the meaning of every sentence before you go on. Taste the words and understand that they're true. Realize that it's not a work of fiction that you're reading, but the Holy Word.
You've taken your first step into an amazing adventure where your eyes will be opened and you're going to be blinded by God's precious light!
What a wonderful day!
