Thoughts for the end of Year

Thoughts for the end of Year
Ben Zion Bokser wrote,
"I have not seen the robin but I know he is there because I heard him singing through my window from the tree-top outside.
I have not seen God.  But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the universe.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation."
                     Ben Zion Bokser.
Billy Graham the great American evangelist wrote,
“I can't prove it scientifically, that there's a God, but I believe.”
                                                                                   Billy Graham
Blaise Pascal wrote,
“It is incomprehensible that God should exist, 
and 
it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.” 
                                                             Blaise Pascal.
The Psalmist writes,
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
 the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
Day after day they pour forth speech; 
night after night they display knowledge. 
There is no speech or language 
where their voice is not heard.” 
                                                 Psalm 19:1-3.
I believe in God it is that simple. I have faith that He exists. I as the writer of the Apostles creed puts it,
I believe in God the Father the almighty maker of heaven and earth
I believe in Jesus Christ God’s on and only Son, our Lord and Saviour.
I believe Jesus was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary
I believe Jesus suffered under Pontius Pilate; 
That He was Crucified, died, was buried. That he descended in hell.
I believe He rose again on the third day from the dead.
I believe that he ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
I believe Jesus will one day Judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost
I believe in the Church which is the communion of the saints,
I believe in the forgiveness of sin.
I believe in the resurrection of the body.
I believe in life everlasting
The choice for you the reader is simple do you believe in God or Not. There is no middle ground. The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
