Shalom
I am Rabbi David and here is my testimony. I was not brought up in a Christian home. We didn't go to church or even talk about G-d. When I grew up, if you were baptized as an infant that was all the insurance you needed. This being said, the morals I was raised with were excellent by anyone's standards. But would these morals and "good" upbringing be enough to be happy and live a successful life. (Success maybe, if measured by material standards.) I was not a perfect kid, but I also wasn't the kid who got in fights, got suspended, got into drugs, or skipped school. (Maybe a little mouthy though). I tried to achieve what I did by honest means and hard work and guess what "it works". I did not need to be handed everything. After a while, I had accomplished everything I had wanted, should be happy right. At a young age with only a G.E.D., I had a good job, a nice home, a new car and for the most part anything I wanted to have was only a paycheck away. I did the being "good" thing, it wasn't enough, I did the being "nice" thing, it wasn't enough, I did the "working hard" thing and it too wasn't enough. I was at a point where I really didn't like life much at all and had about enough. I made the classic ignorant mistake of blaming G-d and thinking that He must be my problem. (How foolish is that) After all, in my eyes, I was doing everything right. I finally came to the point where I challenged G-d and Satan to a showdown, after all somebody is lying to me and I want to know who. I told G-d that if Satan was a liar, I would serve G-d for two years with everything I had and if He wasn't truly a good god, I would rebel against Him with everything I had or leave this world. On the other hand if G-d turned out to be the liar, why wait two years until my 35th birthday. I called everything in phonebook that called itself a "Church", all but 12 hung up on me. I had described to G-d a church and told Him that if he were real that He would put me in that church. (My idea, not His) As it turnned out, that was the first church I went to. So I went to this church thinking I was ready for anything and also thinking that I was going to get some answers. When I entered the church, I heard this gentleman singing and it cut to the core. I knew who showed up, it was G-d, this was my first indication that Satan was a coward. This place was huge and it would very easy to blend in and hide. (I know, I tried) The pastor preached "Hanging on the vine" and I thought, "I can do this". Then came the altar call, "what's that?". I didn't know what this was but I could actually feel G-d tugging on my heart and I knew I had to answer. So I didn't (not so tough afterall). Then a second time and I still didn't answer. At this point the pastor swings around on his back foot and points right at me (this is a big place) and says "I am not coming over here again." This time I answered and when I did, I heard G-d say "remember that day you told me about?", "you'll be married before that day". One month before that birthday to that day, in a wedding I had no means of providing for I was married. Praise G-d, if you are mad at Him, don't keep it to yourself, talk to Him about it, He can help!!
