Since then I started really enjoying math, to the point of while in college, I would do math to relax my mind from other subjects I didn\u2019t like. LOL<\/p>\n<p>With God it was no different. I had no interest in seeking God even though I knew it was the right path for me, until someone HELPED me, showed me God in an interesting way, showed God through their life. The God I thought was a religion become alive and real to me.<br \/>\nI started reading the Bible and each time I read it the stories weren\u2019t just stories anymore, they became true examples of life for me. The Bible was no longer a religious book it became my life manual.<\/p>\n<p>Two important points:<br \/>\n1. To be helped.<br \/>\n2. To try to find out whom He is.<\/p>\n<p>It is very important for you to have someone direct you in your life with God, after all Jesus did not only speak or teach His disciples, but he also helped them. He spoke, motivated, rebuked, directed and drew their attention to what was important.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many young people today live this drama?
