I even volunteered for the hospital ministry once a month. So why did I still feel a void in my life? I didn't understand. What was missing? God has always played a major role in my life, I've always believed in creationism. There has never been any doubt in my mind that there was a supreme being that created the world. Even as a young child, I remember looking at the sunrise presenting itself every morning in its timely manner with all of its majesties. I knew then that perfection could not be accidental. Although I've always known that there was a God, I can honestly say that I didn't know him. But then again, I never really took the time to get to know him on a personal level.

They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned" Isaiah 29:13. I was guilty as charged
