Words to Reflect Upon: Part 2

“Our strength for these days and our hope of a new life comes from God alone. Faith is the opposite of doubt and fear. It is faith in our living Lord, that is the bedrock of all hope, and it is hope that is the fuel for our healing.”

“To say that we are created in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for our existence, for God is love. It is God‘s intent & will for us as His beloved children, to live into His image, reflecting His unconditional love, which is manifested in the fruits of the Holy spirit planted within each one of us. The fruits of the Holy Spirit include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, harmony & self control. As tumultuous as life can be at times as we recognize and receive the gift of God, walking among us, we should never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. It is in that reality that God‘s peace & healing lies.”

“God created human beings in His very image & empowered them with His Holy Spirit so that they would live in partnership and covenant with Him, reflecting out His light, love, and grace through their living. Reflecting God‘s image and light is the Divine purpose of human existence.”
