Today I Have Faith

I believe that there is a power greater than I could ever imagine. That power - God, Allah, Jehovah, The Divine,  Mother Earth, the Universe - by whatever name, that power holds nothing but love for me.

I am seen. I am heard. I am valued.

I believe this.

In the depths of my despair I am held safe and I am not alone.

I believe there is a purpose both in life and in death. We search for meaning out of seemingly random events. Joys and tragedies bound together. Love and loss. Sometimes we find meaning. Sometimes we don't.  Sometimes we make meaning out of it, create our own stories, so we have something to hold on to.

Whatever meaning we find or create,  there is a bigger picture that we can't see. I have faith in the bigger picture. I have faith in the Master Painter. I have faith in the unfolding.

I believe there is a love bigger than me and a meaning bigger than my mind can conceive. I am willing to trust in that. 

And have faith.
