    I work in law enforcement, I see all manners of evil everyday. By seeking God, it has allowed me to seek to find God in the people I work to help and that has humbled me a lot in the last few years. It is amazing how much grace God has for such a sinful people, of whom I am first.

    I was an only child. My parents worked alternating 12 hour shifts so often i was alone. Didn't have many friends and was an angry kid. But i loved god and prayed every night. I seek him because he is my oldest and best friend. He was all i had and ever will have. He has given me everything i wanted that was good and delivered me from my own evil.

    You have touched on what I have been thinking about for a long time, the zealous Atheist, there's nothing more suspicious and telling about a Atheist who spends tremendous time, energy and resources desperately trying to prove that "sky daddy" doesn't exist, as a man who spent 25 years as a atheist, it would seem nonsensical and a waste of time to do such a thing, the question to ask such a person would be, why they are doing this and to what end, I think their answer will be quite revealing

    We seek the Father because he calls us to him. That is what the Bible says, anyway. Many who "seek" God are looking for a spiritual feeling- that is just vanity, though. Feelings are not necessarily helpful. The Bible gives what we need to know, rather than just feel, to know that we are redeemed by the sacrifice of Jesus. That is what faith is: trusting 100% in the Lord and knowing, for certain, that we will be with him in heaven. What a glorious God we have who saves us from our sorry state.
