I'm not asking for you to rationalize it to me, or try to prove it to me. Just how do you make yourself right with it?

I don't make my faith right to myself. I always doubt my faith, but in the end it always proves itself right. At least, until now it did.
I believe there is some sort of energy in this universe, that provides us all with something Good. A sort of eternal good.
My first job was in a dutch prison, creating educational programs for the criminals. I saw there the worst criminals get educated, and trying to find the Good in themselves.
i know it's a kinda thin argument to base my faith on that, but i have faith that every person has something good in itself. And i also know that i always rationalize that to myself, by looking at all the examples around me that "prove" that to me.
i do get disappointed a lot, though.

My faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did for me. He died for my sins. He was buried and took my sins away and He rose again the third day for my justification. My faith come from studying the Word of God and hearing His Word taught and preached. Romans 10: 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

When you find the right faith you won't have to make it right with yourself... because it already will be! You'll know it in your heart and sould that this is the one for you :) Good Luck

If one really believes all life is a product of random happening then they are truely an idiot. Additionally, no matter how much money, how many machines, even if one could get the recipe correct,
YOU SIMPLY CANNOT CREATE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A LEAF ON A TREE. DUPLICATE, PERHAPS, BUT CREATE, CERTAINLY NOT.
JUST BELIEVE!

I don't rely on my own knowledge anymore, as I once did.
Nor do I rely on other people's knowledge, as I once did.
I rely on the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead. He has become my Counselor.... as written within the New Testament of God. So, Jesus explains Christianity to me, Himself. I am glad and rejoice.... because I have found the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Peace be upon you.

I don't really ever feel the need to explain my faith to anyone. I just am who I am, whether they like or accept it is of no consequence to me.

I have never wished to misrepresent truth -- even about God -- in any way, shape, or form. To me truth is compelling -- any truth, all truth, all truth about anything and everything. My hunger seems very pleasantly insatiable. I feel confidently secure on the path of righteousness.

Seems to me that if you have to explain something to yourself, then you don't really have true faith....
