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.
