My Declaration of Faith:
Sometimes I find myself wondering if I’m truly enough, if I’ve done enough, obeyed enough, or measured up enough for God to really love me. At times, I’ve carried the weight of condemnation, feeling like I could never quite reach His standard. And if love from an earthly father was absent or painful, it can make it even harder to picture God as a tender, caring Father.
“For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?
Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.”
1Corinthians 2:11
Have you ever wondered what your future is going to be? Do you ever want to know what you are supposed to do while you are on this planet called Earth? Well, what if I tell you all your answers are right under your nose? That’s right. It is a breath away.
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
For your love is better than wine.”
Song of Solomon 1:2
The worst place that you want your faith to be is in a state of complacency. Complacency is an instance of contented self-satisfaction or not wanting to know what God wants you to do next. It can also be known as a spiritual rut. If you are not careful, complacency can sneak into your life and choke the power of your faith. So, how do you keep yourself from falling into the entrapment of complacency?
“If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.”
Psalm 139:8
In the world, people can easily forsake or abandon you. You may have been abandoned by your biological parents when you were a small child. You may have been abandoned by your spouse, who ran off with another person. You may have been abandoned by your family or relatives because of your newfound faith in Christ. You may have been abandoned by your closest friends for unknown reasons.
My Declaration of Faith:
There are so many things pulling at my attention, such as responsibilities, goals, opinions, and noise. But deep in my heart, there’s a desire that surpasses them all: I want to know God. Not just know about Him, but truly know Him, intimately, personally, and deeply.
“But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have
shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place;
and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”
Matthew 6:6
Do you want to know the hidden secrets of the universe? Are you yearning to understand your very own purpose in life? Do you want God’s greatest plans revealed to you? Finding out isn’t as difficult as you might think. It is as simple as taking your time to converse with your Creator.
