As I got older, I tried many different ways to grow closer to God – attending church services and events, reading the Bible, listening to religious music.  It would work for a while, and I would feel more fulfilled.  But then, something would happen, or I would just drift away, and I would feel just as lost as ever.  By the time I was finishing college, I had pretty much given up on any chance that we could have any real contact with God.  After all, I’d been around for 20 years, and I hadn’t found anyone yet who knew how to make that happen.

I did keep searching though.  I changed churches.  I started taking yoga and studying astrology.  I saw that a lot of things in my life were really miserable.  One day I stood in my kitchen and said, “I want to get things right so I don’t have to come back [in another life] and do this all over again!”  God heard my prayer, and within a few months, I had learned about the Center of Light.

I attended my first class and was amazed that the teacher talked about being able to hear God’s voice inside and that many students had been taught how to do this!  It was what I had been looking for for so long, and here it finally was!  I continued attending the classes and started attending more events from time to time.

Over the last several years, my involvement has increased and my relationship with God has grown and deepened.  I am now the one who can tell people that hearing God inside is possible and how much more relaxed I can be, knowing that I am building a firm foundation on the life that God wants for me.  When challenges come along, I can rely on God for my source of help and love and peace.

Is this something that you’re looking for too?
