IMO finding God (for me) came because I did look inside myself...I found who I am and am always striving to be better but also realizing that I am not perfect and sometimes I need help to get through certain things. and the feeling that finding God has given me is a wonderful thing. I also realize that others think I am foolish or naïve for it... but if it helps me and brings me joy and comfort and I'm not hurting anyone why try to convince me it's not real?
