How can you know God?
Did you ever wonder what God looks like? Well, you're not alone. It's the kind of question most people have at some point. I'll tell you what happened to me when I began to ask that kind of question.
In my early teens I made the decision to join the church of my parents and grandparents. But when I had completed a course to qualify for membership, I realized that with all the instruction in church doctrine and all the gold stars I had earned for the useful memorization, I still hadn't any clear sense of who God, my creator, was. I had no picture in my mind as to whom or what I was to pray to, and I timidly shared my concern with the church officials. Their kindly admonition was that I should just wait, trust, and pray, and God would reveal Himself. But I didn't feel satisfied.
