I know......I believe.

I know
2+2=4
The sky is blue
The earth is round
Winter is cold, summer is hot
Sin is only fun for a season
There is heaven, and justice
Christ is God's son, walked here on earth, died, and rose again
Being a christian means I am not perfect, and very far from it
Because Christ died for me and I acknowledge it, I will spend eternity with him and all others that accept him in heaven as it was meant to be
There are many questions that will never be answered
That's why it's called faith
There is a much bigger, inconceivable battle going on at all times
To deny it is to give the enemy victory
God knows better than I do, in all circumstances
We need fellowship and community
God knows every part of me
One's heart can be hardened toward Him, convinced by the world around us that His word is not the Truth
What we have is a relationship, NOT a religion
To deny his love, his grace, and his forgiveness is to think very highly of oneself

AND I believe it.


I know
My father loves me unconditionally
God made who I am, and still loves me in-spite of my sins
I have been bought with a price
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Christ died so that I don't have to live as a prisoner to sin
His blood covered any sin i've committed and ever will
I am beautiful and precious to him
He is proud of me
I am worthy of redemption
His grace is enough

I don't believe it. But He changes hearts, and fixes broken thinking, so I know I will one day. There were so many things I thought couldn't be true until I just asked him to show me and he did. I still struggle with many things, but in a different way, knowing that Christ died for every sin I have committed or ever will. I hope with all my heart that the people I love so very much, will come to find him, and that their hearts be softened and they will enjoy his amazing love. I know many of them have a horrible perception of christians, and who can blame them? If they were to spend time getting to know the people that are actively seeking christ, rather then just saying that they know him-i know they would be pleasantly surprised.
