I believe in a God of the rescue- a God of redemption and of constant victory over my life. My God is stubborn and He is jealous. His grace is unyielding and strength completely unbreakable.
I believe in a God of second chances- a God Who is never, ever, ever finished performing inexplicable miracles in both my life and the world, no matter what I do. My God will always forgive me, even when I don’t. His glory triumphantly defeats every ignorant temptation and sin that so foolishly thinks it can sway me.
I believe in a God of determination- a God Who lights a consuming fire under anyone who sees Him. My God is more than worthy enough to be the motivation behind my every movement, every thought, and every hope. His death became life and life became eternity, instilling in me a sense of power and confidence to live my life the way He so rightfully commands.
I believe in a God of pure joy- a God of the beautiful give and take. My God calls me to consider every theft a gift and every gain a loss, all the while giving thanks to Him. His only desire is for me to glorify His Name- the Name above every Name- by singing His praises with my every breath as I revel in the comfort of His jubilant mercy and pursue righteousness through the discomfort of the numerous opportunities with which He provides me.
I believe in a God of omniscience- a God with a marvelous plan for His kingdom that cannot be changed or predicted. My God pulls at me to hold captive my mind and reserve my heart for Him and Him only so that I may fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will. His every word begs me to succumb to His intentions with the faithful soul that He Himself blessed me with and to worship, bowed at His feet with my hands grasping for Him in complete surrender.
Above all else, I believe in a God of love- a God Whose affection encompasses all of these incredible things. My God has more passion than the universe has width or the sky has height. His adoration for His creation is completely and totally unsurpassable, incomprehensible, and undeniable.
