"Everyone more or less believes in God.
But most of us do our best to keep God on the margins of our lives or,
failing that, refashion God to suit our convenience.
One of the bad habits that we pick up early in our lives
is separating things and people into secular and sacred.
We assume that the secular is what we are more or less in charge of:
our jobs, our time, our entertainment, our government, our social relations.
The sacred is what God has charge of: 
worship and the Bible, heaven and hell, church and prayers.
We then contrive to set aside a scared place for God,
designed, we say,
to honor God but really intended to keep God in his place,
leaving us free to have the final say about everything else that goes on. 
God has something to say about every aspect of our lives:
The way we feel and act in the so-called privacy of our hears and homes,
the way we make our money and the way we spend it,
the politics we embrace, the wars we fight,
the catastrophes we endure, the people we hurt and the people we help.
Nothing is hidden from the scrutiny of God, 
nothing exempt from the rule of God, 
nothing escapes the purposes of God." -Eugene H. Peterson



If we only truly gave Him a chance, we would realize things don't have to be the way they are,
there are different results waiting to happen.
To be honest he has opened my eyes to many things I was unaware of,
but that's if we only want to meet Him, 
not what people say, not what people have experienced,
not what people write about Him, but what we discover 
from actually getting to know Him, getting to know the source 
one-on-one.
It's not religion, religion doesn't work. He alone works.
