Why do I feel like god always gives me signs ?
I haven’t been religious in like 10 years, because I became an atheist as I was in high school, and never really went back to believing. HOWEVER every time I think about god and a possibility he is real, I always ask for a sign of some sort and then I’m like “if I get the sign I’ll know he’s real and I’ll believe again”. And it happens, I DO get the sign. I’ve had vivid dreams where he knocks on my door, or just something that pops up and it seems like a clear sign to me. But even after that I’ve still had doubts so I never truly began to rethink he was actually real. Until today when I got the sudden urge of happiness when I thought about religion, and so I asked him for a sign once more, and sure enough a few hours later I look up in the sky and I see a pair of clouds that looked vividly like angel wings and a heart. Is this just me seeing what I wanna see? Or do you think god is really trying to reach out?

You need JESUS. Religion involves man trying to reach God or a better afterlife by doing good works. Religion cannot save you; only Jesus saves.
The truth is that death leads to heaven or hell, and the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Bible is very clear that no one can earn their way to heaven since good works do not pay for sins. See Gal. 2:16, Rom. 3:23-28, 4:4-5, Eph. 2:8-9, Tit. 3:5. The only way to heaven is by believing in Jesus for His free gift of eternal life. Jesus shed His blood on the cross as the full payment for our sins. He did all the work; all He requires of us is that we believe in Him. Once you believe in Jesus Christ to save you, you are secure forever!
Because we have all sinned against a perfectly holy and righteous God, we all deserve eternal separation from God in hell (Rom. 6:23). However, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross as our Substitute so we don't have to go to hell. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave three days later (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He gives eternal life freely to anyone who simply believes in Him for it. No one can be saved by doing good works. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9).
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).

Humans are put on this planet to be TESTED.
And FAITH in Jesus is a HUGE part of that testing process.
God will NEVER EVER reveal Himself, or give proof, or evidence of Himself to any person who does not already have FAITH in Him. PERIOD!
If God revealed Himself to a person who did not believe they would INSTANTLY have 100% FAITH in Him. And that means God CHEATS the very TEST He Himself set up.
God will NEVER CHEAT, therefore God will NEVER reveal Himself to an unbeliever. EVER!
Those who seek Proof or Evidence of His Existence, will die still seeking it.
Now God will reveal Himself to those who already have FAITH in Him:
Joh_14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Will He ever reveal Himself to those who don't believe in Him? NOT EVER.
Will He ever reveal Himself to those who don't keep His Commandments? NOT EVER.
Will He ever reveal Himself to those who don't Love Him? NOT EVER.
God will NOT, nor EVER will, reveal Himself to an Atheist. PERIOD!

Because it sets you up to be different, getting you attention which gives you a little self esteem that you so sorely are lacking.

The signs and miracles which are well documented are quite sufficient for those who are learned and wise. No one should have to ask for or look for signs. As if what has already been given isn't enough? What would sir and madam like beyond that .....???
