Are you holding anything back?  God wants you to get real with him.  He knows all about you already, tell him your fears and He WILL comfort and help you.  I have been in your situation.  I have had to learn like others have said, there is not always that magic feeling that we want to feel and that is where faith comes in.  You have to remember, the devil knows all about you also, and he will do everything in his power to make you doubt yourself and most of all doubt God.  Clear your mind and ask God what is going on, He will reveal His path for you.  When I was saved I did feel different, I knew it was real, but the peace and presence of God that He has shared with me came much later after I grew in faith and wanted a real relationship with God not just seeking a feeling.  Keep close to God, find spiritual friends and leaders, and spend time with them each day.  God loves you, He is leading you through this and I have learned those times when I have felt down and out of the loop with God, -if I kept the faith- He always brought me out stronger than before.  Seek Him with all you heart, trust me He WILL answer.

Yes, this is the relief we get when we are saved, we have God's love and happiness in us, and I think God would like it if we shared some of that with others. After my dad was saved, people noticed this difference in him, this joy and happiness and because of that he got to explain it was because of Jesus. What a wonderful gift that God has given to us!

Praise God that He took you out of that dead end life.  Praise God, praise God.\n\nThere wasn't one "moment" when I would say I was born again.  It took time...I was in a bible study and over the years, I came to know Him and understand that the bible is God's word.  It's been ten years of bible study, and I am a new person because of the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

It is best to do what God has told you to do and do it then. I have been there. You are always happier when you are in Gods will than when out of it.

The day I received the gift of the Holy Spirit.\n\n5000 young people praising the Lord, learning, praying for each other. Then I started talking with words I did not know but yet they came out as if I had used them my whole life. Since that moment things have been different, when I pray for people things happen, God talks to me in ways people cannot understand, He shows me things most do not see, and when I speak the word of God comes alive to others.

Didn't you find at 40 a new and better life began. I am 57 and find that as each day goes past, my eyes are opened more and prayers that have been prayed for are being answered. Some of those prayers were prayed since teens.\nIf you have God in your life, as each day passes, a greater day is given.

Each child that is born is a blessing from God.. After you have children of your own you'll realize it for yourself.. \n\nThe joy that is experienced when a baby is brought into the world is an undescribable feeling.. Seeing the child develop and grow and experience the world with 'new eyes' is a powerful, awe-inspiring testament to the beauty that God has blessed us with.. When you have a child you can vicariously re-experience the same feelings you had when you were a child and see the world with innocence and joy..

People push it on you because they believe strongly, that they have found the only path to heaven. They are just trying to bring you into the faith because they care about you and want you to go to heaven too. The unfortunate thing is most people don't know how to go about "selling" their faith to others, and sadly, end up offending more than they convert. It is not intentional, it is an unfortunate by product of their good intentions. I am sorry that this friend has made you feel like your faith is a lie, or rather that he is calling it that. Thank you however, for keeping an open mind about the whole thing. Christianity can be a bit messed up at times. Most Christian faiths think that any other Christian faith that isn't theirs is going to hell too, so don't feel too bad. The way I look at it, if you are right with God, that is all that really matters.

Maybe you need to pray for faith.\n\nPrayer is the elevation of the mind and heart to God:\n+ In praise of his glory\n+ In petition for some desired good\n+ In thanksgiving for a good received\n+ In intercession for others before God\n\nThrough prayer the Christian experiences a communion with God through Christ in the Church.\n\n"For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy." (St. Thérèse of Lisieux)\n\n"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God." (St. John Damascene) \n\nBut when we pray, do we speak from the height of our pride and will, or "out of the depths" of a humble and contrite heart? (Psalm 130:1) \n\nHe who humbles himself will be exalted; humility is the foundation of prayer. Only when we humbly acknowledge that "we do not know how to pray as we ought," are we ready to receive freely the gift of prayer. "Man is a beggar before God."\n\nWith love in Christ.

Don't give up, and don't settle for less...are you in an environment where you can meet other christians? If so, and you have asked God to bring someone into your life that believes and lives a Christian life,  then just believe that God will do it and one day soon, probaly in a way that you wouln't have ever imagined, you'll meet him...I've seen it happen over and over again...so be encouraged and don't give up....

What I have experienced is answered prayer; maybe not as instant or as dramatic. I have prayed sometimes for situations that seemed impossible, and God answered in such a beautiful way. I can think of so many problems that have been solved, because they looked like they would have a bad outcome, but prayers, have turned it around. It restores my belief in praying, even more than ever, when I realize that miracles like this DO happen. I'm sure that in some way, somewhere, God is still creating these miracles. Some don't believe it to be true; but that's ok...I think that great FAITH is a requirement for miracles like this to happen. God Bless you and your friend.

You just pray for them and love them.  You just have to have faith and continue to show them how good living in Jesus is.
