Can someone send me a video or some sort of thing that will convince me and make me want to follow Jesus? What is an eye opener in your lives? (Besides the Bible or church).

i don't know, the movie BEN-HUR sort of did it for me.
(The scene where the slaves, Charlton Heston too, are being led across Palestine in chains, and are offered water. Jesus' face isn't shown, but we get his message from everyone's reactions).
And, later, the women hear the sermon on the mount and repeat that he said "love thine enemies". He was there, he said it, and it's pretty darned revolutionary.

Wow, if I've ever seen a bait, this question is it.
Why do you want convincing? If you feel like God is for you, go and look for him. There are many good churches in most cities. BTW, I don't believe in God. I do think that some people need to believe in Him. I respect the need for God. You may want a community. You may want answers. There is an awesome template for how to be a good person in most faiths.
Here's a good metaphor, if I do say so myself.
Let's say that you've never had Key Lime Pie.
If you taste it and you like it, then you're a Key Lime Pie convert. If you taste it and you don't like it, Key Lime Pie is not for you. If you heard of it and it does not appeal to you, then you never have to try it. However, if you don't like it but you meet someone who loves it, you should be respectful of their preference and not talk trash about the Key Lime Pie.
I hope you find what you're looking for.

I'm a Christian. Jesus told us to preach the Gospel. He never said we have to prove anything. You receive Jesus by faith or you can decide not to. Jesus said, "He that believeth...shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be damned." Jesus also said to some who came to him asking him for proof, "A wicked and perverse generation seeketh after a sign." I am convinced that such people would not want anything to do with God if God himself spoke to them face to face.

Faith is the belief in things not seen. You have to want to, as the lady said.
