Affirmation of faith:
"We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. He is the Lord of yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is the Lord over life and death.We believe that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. With His help we can remain faithful when tempted, peaceful when troubled, and loving when opposed.
We believe that in all things we can be more than conquerors. For neither death nor life, neither the present nor the future, neither suffering nor trials can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen."
God's love finds us where we are whether we are suffering hardships or shouting hallelujahs! Because God desires a relationship with us, He longs to share in our days, whether they are long and full or hurried and fragile. God walks with us so closely that sometimes we can miss Him ~ especially when everything seems easy and good and simple. I believe God both weeps and celebrates with us.
From a familiar hymn, these words remind me to be aware of time:
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.*
In the week to come, whatever comes our way, I believe we can find God in all our moments. Be aware and in awe of His presence! ~ dho
