I Believe

I believe the divine came and lived on Earth by choice with no other motive than to love us and save us.

I believe everything shows the glory of Father.

I believe He works His glory in everything that has happened, everything that is happening, and everything that will happen.

I believe if I'm not living for Him life isn't worth living.

I believe the Lord that spoke the world into existence still speaks to us everyday. But we have to listen.

I believe Father loves me just as much in my sin as He does when I have it all together.

I believe the absurdity of Father's plan gives it validity. Just watch Him put all the pieces together.

One touch of His robe healed. He still heals. Sometimes He heals physically. But I think mostly He longs to heal our hearts, to bring us into a deeper relationship with Him.

I believe Father hates religion. Hates our pathetic attempt to put rules in the place of Him. Hates that we put rules ahead of relationship.

I believe Jesus came to give us freedom. But we have to trust Him with our hearts.

I believe once you really, truly meet Jesus you'll never be the same again. Something inside of you changes and nothing will satisfy you but Him.

I believe in His promises. I believe in the promises He has made to all of His people and the promises He has made to me as an individual.

I believe nothing is worth believing in but Him.
