You have my heart completely!

Faith…

This past week I underwent several medical tests.

I’ll spare you the gory details, but it places things into perspective -that’s for sure!

As I recovered and sat quietly in my bedroom.

I took that the time to reflect on things I know to be true, and I wanted to share those with my readers.

I have never professed my faith on my blog because it immediately turns folks off, and it opens the door for criticism and judgment. 

BUT

Here it goes…

I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

I believe in the power of prayer.

I believe that the Holy Spirit guides us and speaks to us and shows us. (Some of you may call me a bruja, but I know what it is…)

I believe that each day offers us a new opportunity to do the right thing.

I believe that WE ARE ALL children of God, created in his perfect image.

I believe that God walks and talks to me and I have literally heard his voice – (you can ask me about that later)

I believe that there is goodness in humanity, though these days it seems so hard to find.

I believe in miracles… daily miracles – they are all around us.

I believe that hope is alive and lives in our hearts if we allow it.

I believe that laughter is the best medicine, and tears wash our souls from sorrow.  There is beauty in both.

I believe that God created me with a strong mind and a strong spirit and its beautiful.

I believe that everyone’s opinion is valid, even when we disagree.

I believe that my political persuasion

has nothing to do with my value before God.

What I know for sure.

God loves me.

God sees me

God cares for me, my family, and friends.

I am not alone in this journey called life.

We all have a distinct purpose

We all have a calling

We all need hope, joy, and love.

What my tests results will say I do not know.

What I do know is that God has my heart completely and whatever awaits, I will move towards knowingly that I have an army of love and hope with me.  

What a privilege it is to live a life filled with hope, even in the darkest hours.

Find that hope.  

Find the love

Find the joy

It will bring you peace.

Lesson:

God loves me…and HE has my heart completely. That I know for sure.
