Please consider this open forum as an opportunity to 'come to terms' with your beliefs as it expands other's horizons. Freedom of thought, ideas, and belief, as well as their free expression, are basic essentials to the New Day Dawning. So let's express Freely --- "I believe ...

I believe that God is a light at the center of everything, and that we are all sparks of that light, driven spiralling off into the darkness. We spend our life - or lifetimes, if you believe, as I do, in reincarnation - trying to get back to be One with The Light, and to light the way for others. Eventually, we're all going to dance with God, it's just going to take some of us longer to learn the steps.

I believe that everything happens for a reason, and for the "ultimate good". You might have trouble figuring out what that "good" actually *is*, but that's where faith and trust come into play.

I believe that life is like a spiritual ladder - and whether we progress up that ladder several rungs in a lifetime, or *down* a few, depends not so much on what happens to us in our lives, but in how we choose to deal with it - and with others... and what we choose to learn, or take away from the situation.

I believe that prayer has power. I believe that positive thinking has power. I believe that a simple smile can have an amazing impact, as can a kind gesture, or an unexpected loving word.

I believe that love, and joy are stronger than hurt and fear.

I believe that God doesn't care *how* you believe, so much as *that* you believe. I don't think He cares *who* you love, but *that* you love, and that you realize that you are part of something greater than yourself, and that your actions have consequences that reverberate beyond known time and space.

I believe I'm done spouting off, for the moment ;-) Thanks for giving me the chance to formulate and chrystalize my thoughts...

Light and laughter to you ~ Deb

I beleave in one God who created everything that exist. I beleave in His son Jesus Christ. I beleave God Lived in His Son. Which was a normal man as you or I. I beleave Jesus was & is the living ex sample of what we can be. I beleave we are son's and daughters of the most high by faith. I
beleave that if we beleave on the Son of God we will be saved. How can we have faith in God to live in us ? If we don't have an ex sample of a son, that He proved to us that He lived in. That's why Jesus came to show His
Father to us. He lived the word of God which proved His Son-ship. Only beleave that you are His child. The bible tells us that we are. If we beleave it. This faith will a turn on Gods power inside you to live as
Jesus did. I'm so glad I'm among those that beleave. I beleave Jesus needed a lot of faith to beleave that He was the Son of God. Just like us !
