If God Really Existed...

Day 249

If God really existed, a whole lot of people dying in hospitals and car crashes, only to be revived seconds or minutes later, would be telling us about their incredible visions of Heaven.

If God really existed, people all around the world would be reporting visions of loved ones who have visited them in some otherwise impossible way.

If God really existed, human beings from every race and nation would have some belief in a divine creator, who they'd no doubt call by a variety of different names.  They'd have different rules and beliefs, but they'd all agree in some kind of higher, intelligent power at work behind it all.

If God really existed, none of us would truly die when our bodies did.  We'd connect somehow to the divine, and many would succeed in sending messages back to loved ones through signs as well as mediums, people with the ability to receive messages from these souls on the other side.

If God really existed, messengers would be sent to us over the course of human history to prove the existence of Heaven.  We'd call these spirits by different names and even titles, perhaps even understand some as being family members of the divine, but we'd all agree they were incredible manifestations of spirit far beyond human comprehension.

If God really existed, the majority of people living on Earth would have an absolute knowing that God existed, even without proof, and they'd spend their whole lives trying to comprehend what this God was, and how they could receive more from it.

If God really existed, many would still not believe, despite all the visions, apparitions, near-death experiences, angels, and other unexplainable phenomena of all kinds.  Those with the rock-solid belief, backed up by so many real accounts from real people with real experiences, would feel sad that their loved ones didn't believe them or their beliefs.  Some would react badly to the unbelievers, and bully them into joining their churches, ministries, and other faith activities.  Others, though, would understand.  They'd see the difficulties of life and the challenges we all face, and they wouldn't be so pushy.  They'd simply trust that in the end, we'll all have our answers, and all know for sure if God really existed.
