My Declaration of Faith:
I know I’ve made mistakes. I’ve stumbled, fallen short, and done things I wish I could take back. But I also know this, that God has forgiven me. His Word says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). If the God of heaven has already washed me clean, then I don’t have to keep punishing myself for what He has erased.
“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.”
I Corinthians 13:12
There will come a time when you can be misunderstood by the people around you. You may be someone who has good intentions to help someone else, but the person you are helping presumes that you have alternative motives. You could be going through a phase in your life when your own family or friends don’t even recognize you because you have changed your haircut, how you dress, how you act among your peers, and what you believe.
My Declaration of Faith:
Some days, it’s easy to feel like I’m falling short, as I’ll never be good enough or do enough to really please God. But then I remember the truth: the law wasn’t given to make me holy; it was given to show me just how much I need a Savior.
