How Do We Know the Bible Is True?

Is there something that has happened in your life that has made you truly understand that God is real?  Has He shown Himself to you in a special way?  I have seen signs of Him and His love my whole life.  It started when I was really young.  I wrote a rhyme about it, and here it is…

---

Guess what, I have a secret

And I don’t want to keep it

Quiet stuck inside

It’s a big thing that I must say

I’ll publish this one today.

 

I know that eternity is real

I know this because I got to feel

What no beginning and no end

Feels like on Earth, my reader friend.

 

I had not reached my accountable age

I was still innocent with little to wage

Nothing besides what was said

Was measured inside my tiny head

I had no concept of consequence

…

 

So, I’ll tell you with empty words to express

What happened to me, I feel such duress

Cause words don’t exist in this world of sin,

To describe what I felt, but I’ll try and begin.

 

I remember the feeling as I looked to the sky

I could tap into eternity, that’s no lie!

Something would happen to me when I thought

About God up in heaven, my spirit was brought

To a place I believe only innocence can feel

It made me feel like I wasn’t real

 

No beginning and no end?

I existed forever and ever, my friend.

When I would have this powerful feeling

I would tell my mom, my little mind reeling,

“Help me” mom, “I don’t feel real,” I would say.

Please make that feeling go so far away.

I want to know why this has to be.

I couldn’t understand what was happening to me.

 

The feeling overwhelmed my innocent mind.

I reached for anything I could find

To bring me back to a sturdy place

Instead of feeling lost out in that space.

I remember telling my mom, I am scared

“I don’t feel real mom, this isn’t fair?”

Why do I feel that when I look to the sky

I’m scared of that feeling, I don’t know why!

 

My mother was as wise as can be

She explained what was happening to me.

She said, “You have a special gift from above.”

God was showing himself to me, that was His love.

The Creator of all that is around,

was showing himself! Now that is profound!

 

I wish there was a better way

to tell you what I want to say.

But that is how God designed us to be

that here on earth, we can’t grasp eternity.

It’s too much for us to understand,

so we just need to take His hand.

When I was young God let me feel

what it’s like to “not be real.”

John 3:16

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

 

No, God is not dead, He is surely Alive!  And He does live on the inside, and He DOES ROAR like a LION!  It’s undeniable.  He is so real.

Ephesians 6:12

¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

God’s great infinite gift is for all

You just have to answer His loving call

So that one day I’ll see you when we all attend

The party in Heaven with no beginning or end.

Please leave a comment and let me know how God has shown Himself to you in your life.  It’s so important that we share these experiences because they are SO REAL.  He isn’t a mysterious mystic hiding and laughing at us cause we can’t find Him.  He craves our love.  He wants us to find Him and He will show Himself if we look for Him and ask Him to reveal Himself to us.  It’s true!  Nothing has ever been more true than that.
