This I believe:
I believe.
I believe in love.
I believe in life.
I believe in loving life.
I believe life is a gift.
I believe there is more to life than just existing.
I believe life here on earth is a combination of boot camp and kindergarten.
I believe we are to experience as much life as we can while we are on this earth.
I believe our spirits are given a physical form to reside in, allowing us the unique opportunity to experience life in a physical way.
I believe life has a purpose.
I believe we have a purpose.
I believe half of our purpose is found in the journey of discovery, which leads us to the understanding of that purpose.
I believe I have much to learn and am still early in my journey, only now I am aware of it.
I believe I have been on this journey since childhood, just not aware of it until I looked back and saw the milestones rise from the horizon.
I believe in love.
I believe in God.
I believe that God is love.
I believe that I am a child of God.
I believe we are all children of God, being both human and divine at the same time, as Christ was.
I believe the kingdom, the power, the glory, and the grace of God is within us all, we just don’t know how to access it.
I believe my children have seen the face of God, but will not remember until they go back home.
I believe that our home is with God, and knowledge of that home is limited by our human inability to understand these things, but we call that home heaven.
I believe in love.
I believe in truth.
I believe love, truth, and understanding overpower evil, deception, and pain.
I believe all of the emotions and physical sensations we experience while on earth are a special gift, whether pain or pleasure.
I believe the only time our spirits are given the gift of physical sensations is while on earth.
I believe our spirits are trapped in an earthly bound mammal body, with chemical and physical needs that are constantly interfering with, and confusing our spirit.
I believe all of these things are happening at the same time, all the time.
I believe in love.
I believe in faith.
I believe faith in truth helps us love what we cannot understand.
I believe hell is on earth, caused by the misunderstanding of our earthly sensations.
I believe that evil is deception, a misunderstanding of the truth, which leads to intense pain.
I believe when you have love, truth, and understanding then evil, deception, and pain cannot exist.
I believe when we can love and understand truth, then we get a glimpse on earth how it is in heaven.
I believe there is not one religion that fully understands these truths, but there are truths that are known and understood in all religions.
I believe my understandings of truth and love shape my faith, and that shape may change or grow as I continue my journey, and continue to understand more.
I believe I am not the only one who knows, understands, and believes these things.
I believe we can feel God smile.
I believe in love.
I believe.
