Praying for you today. Becoming a Christian was the best thing that ever happened to me. Christ completely and miraculously changed my life.

Romans 10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

I often wish I could. My main hang up is that I don’t really believe in Jesus and I don’t want to be a hypocrite. I don’t want to lie to myself and everyone else. If I did that, what would be the point? I want to believe but I don’t. The story of Jesus is powerful but it seems like an allegory to me. To be a Christian means by definition you must accept Jesus as your savior. You must believe. And so far I just can’t. I just can’t suspend my disbelief. I’m really not trying to offend anyone. I hate to use the term ‘fairy tale’ because that term is often used by people to mock Christians and anyone else who dares believe in G-d. But that’s the way it feels to me. I’m sorry that I don’t have other people’s ability to believe. I don’t know how.
