Dear OP ... you're close. Closer than you probably realize. The depth and sincerity of your seeking will usher you into the halls of truth. As you seek, you will find. Go within. It's all there. The fact that you want to know ensures that you will know.
As I speak to you, I am speaking to me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say what I most needed to hear. Blessings to you
I think that it is important to realize that faith is not the end of the journey. It's the start.
Remember this...the seeking IS the finding.
Sometimes its good to get lost... to find your way home

In spite of the subject matter, that was some good poetry. I'm laughing at the agnostic atheist types getting irritated over a simple piece of art. Thanks for sharing!

I have considered the Truths of Your existence in Christianity – among the Catholics, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, and Baptists.
I have pondered the Truth of Your existence among the Jews and the Muslims.
I have contemplated the Truth of Your existence among the Hindus and the Buddhists.
I have attempted to find Your presence in Tai Chi and Yoga.
I have explored the Old Religion and the ancient knowledge.
I have been a New Ager, a Spiritualist, a Theosopher, and a Gnostic.
"God told Norvel Hayes the church is sadly lacking. We do not worship Him enough. You have to get alone in the privacy of your home and get on your knees and just worship Jesus, telling Him how much you love Him and appreciate Him. So I did. And after a few weeks, suddenly, God began to speak.
After a while, Jesus began to appear to me. He would just walk in my room like an ordinary person and sit and talk to me."
Unleashing the Supernatural Power of God in Your Life
"...spend much time in private worship. God is calling you into His Presence, for that is the only place you will find fullness of joy–His joy–which will be your strength. And, finally, learn the process of assimilation that causes the meditation of His Word.
But remember this: Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God–not by your preconceived ideas of what the Word says. Faith doesn’t come through your victories, nor does it come through your defeats. It only comes one way: by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Trust me when I say that I wouldn’t hesitate to fill up my mind with the Bible. I wouldn’t wait one second!"

I do appreciate what you said though, it helped me reevaluate my own faith. The last thing I want to do is aggressively question gods existence.

Why? Are you afraid of the answers you might find?
