How do you know there is a God?

How many times has this question been asked? People who don't believe often wonder how we can be so sure. I know (head-knowledge) He exists because I know Him (heart-knowledge) personally. He sat beside me and held my hand when I was laying on the couch sick from chemotherapy. He comforted me when we discovered the lump and my worst fear became real. He gave me an unearthly peace through every step. He still walks with me even when my heart wanders, and oh, how these human hearts tend to wander. He's always there when I turn back around looking for Him. I know there is a God because I know Him.

This link is to a post by another woman, who's story of faith and our personal Savior is more proof that He exists. Please read this post. Thankfully, I have not known her specific pain, but I understand her heart. She very eloquently explains what a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe can look like. He does not promise we will not endure hardship in this life, but He does promise to always be there with us.

Thank you, Jesus! You are true to your promises.
