The
Garden of Eden
Who am I? I suppose
there is no right or wrong answer to this. However, it is something
to ponder on when telling people. I mean, who am I, really? Many
people spend their whole life searching to find themselves. Everyone
wants to be confident in who they are. Most people build their
identity off of their own interests. They find things like sports,
goals, talents, and bury themselves into whatever they decide is who
they are. You may find that some people even base who they are off of
people around them, and who they love. Finding yourself, can be a
lifelong journey if you let it.
So, who am I?
I found my identity as a child, when I hadn't even quite realized it
yet. Each day, I find myself more and more. My identity is firm in
Jesus Christ. I wasn't raised that way unlike so many others, which I
what makes it great. I got to learn on my own and share it with my
family and friends as I went. I know who I am, because I have faith
that I was designed for a purpose. I may not know what that purpose
is yet, but I work towards it everyday by being the best I can be. I
have centered my lifestyle around my faith in God and each day, it
proves to be worth while. I strive each day to be who He wants me to
be, I don't live to impress anyone else.
When
you ponder deeply on the question of who you are, you begin to wonder
where you came from. This leads to the question, where does the world
come from? This is a huge controversial debate that has no end.
Everyone seems to have their own theory on where the world came from.
No one will ever agree on one answer. The arguments could go on and
on and never make any progress. There is no law on where the world
came from. No one has enough fact to prove their theory to be true.
That's where faith comes into play, every single theory has to have
faith to fill the gaps that haven't been explained. I guess you could
say that this question, is where religion comes from.
I
believe in creationism. The story of the Garden of Eden isn't just a
story. To me, it's fact. I don't see how or why anyone could come up
with all of the stories in the bible, just for the fun of it. Even
more so how could someones made-up stories line up so well with life
we live today and even some physical findings. I firmly believe that
the story of how the earth was created my God, is 100% true. I also
think its beautiful. The fact that He would create us, in His
likeness, knowing our future mistakes but loving us anyways, is the
greatest love story of all time. Its great to know that I was created
for a reason, not just by accident.
I
could wonder for the rest of my life if what I believe is true. I
could spend my whole life searching for answers, only to be right
back where I started. Instead, I choose to stand strong in what I
believe. I refuse to question it because I'm sure of who I am and
where I came from. I know in my heart that God created me and gave me
a purpose. I only live to be who He has called me to be. I know I
make mistakes, but I thank God for His grace and for giving me a life
worth living. I'm proud of who I am, and where I came from.
