I am a Christian


We are very limited creatures. We know just how small we are, and we know that we are not really in full control of our lives. We are painfully aware of the fact that we will all die at some future point, and we know we can not take anything with us beyond the grave. We sense deep inside that there could be more to this life than what we are currently experiencing and we wish we could know the exact nature of the life that awaits us beyond this one. We follow world systems that could give a glimpse into the unexpected and we hope we have made the right choice as far as what we believe is concerned.

On this side of eternity, we struggle with the challenges that every day brings. We may have many pleasant moments, but if we are honest, we know that the suffering is greater than the celebration. No wonder we invest so much hope in the world to come. A world where there shall be no more crying and dying. A world without pain and injustice. A world whose ruler is loving and truly has the best interests of His subjects at heart.

I choose to be a Christian. This choice is influenced first of all by my background. It has been the most appealing faith since my childhood and continues to be my choice as I continue in this journey. Other systems of faith have their own methods and beliefs but I feel truly settled in this one. I could not imagine not being a Christian. I am at the point where a life without Christ is not appealing at all. I don't know of anything else I would rather be than His and I cannot imagine bowing down to any other god. I am satisfied in Him and I can shamelessly say that I love Him.
