I grew up in a Christian home, I went to a Christian school as a child and many of my early influences were Christian. None of that really mattered however when I was a teenager and hated who I was. None of that mattered when I was considering killing myself. 

You see, the label “Christian” is really meaningless. Some of the worst people in history claimed to be “Christians.” Who you claim to be is significantly less influential than who you are in your heart. 

The little secret lurking within every human soul is that you are “not good enough.” 

Oh sure, we all have our coping mechanisms, our delusions and excuses. We have our self help dogmas, doting parents, and encouraging friends. Within and behind all of that is your self-awareness that you are unceremoniously and undoubtedly “flawed.” While simultaneously knowing that you ought not to be, aren’t designed to be, and with everything you are, wish that you will someday be “full.” It is for that reason that every society in history has flocked to those amongst them who promised answers to the fullness of life. Wise men, prophets, sages, medicine men, shamans…you get the point. 
Humanity knows inherently that the spiritual world is just as real as the physical one. If you deny that, both you and I know you are lying to yourself. Deep within your psyche you know, when you look into the starry sky, that something ultimately powerful made it that way. 
The question is then; Who? Why? Does it matter? 
I believe that the Bible is God’s love letter to humanity. Within it’s sacred text is truth revealed. The person of Jesus is, was, and will always be the personality and explanation of God to man. His example and His teachings exhibit perfectly a definitive answer to all of man’s questions, longings, and quest for identity. 

His Word; The Word offers the only complete solution for wholeness and direction of our life’s insatiable quest to be full.  As it is only He who can fill your soul with what it was intended to be filled with.

Read it. Read the Gospels, read Acts, read Paul’s letters. He loves you perfectly, but you must admit that you need him.
