committing my life to god hi everyone i m trying to find my way to god but find it difficult as i can t hear god talking to me letting me know that he exists and is with me and that he knows me and i feel that i can t possibly get to know him until he does maybe he is talking to me but i just don t know or understand how to listen some christians tell me that in their opinion the only way to find god is to take a plunge and commit your life to him and you will discover this idea of diving into the totally unknown is a little bit frightening but i have a few questions how do you actually commit yourself if i just say ok god her you go i m committing my life to you i wouldn t really feel that he d listened at least i couldn t be sure that he had so how does one or how did you commit oneself to god in committing myself in this way what do i have to forfeit of my current life what can i no longer do i feel that i m as good as many christians and i try to uphold the idea of loving your neighbour i don t go round killing people stealing etc and i try not to get jealous of other people in any way and i would say that i keep to the standards of treating other people as well as many christians so what do i have to give up when committed what do i have to do what does it involve what if any burdens am i taking on so then what s the general difference before and after i assume that like on your birthday you don t suddenly feel a year older it won t suddenly change my life the day i commit myself so what happens how can i be sure that it is the right thing to do how can i find out what the it in the last sentence actually is thanks very much for all your help in answering these questions perhaps e mail would be a better way to reply but it s up to you ben benha castle ed ac uk janet benha uk ac ed castle year old at university in scotland
