I HAVE TO BELIEVE

I wrote a series of things that I hoped would heal my confused way of thinking. I was struggling to hold onto the good things and let go of the bad things.

These three short notes were the result.

I HAVE TO BELIEVE - Thu Nov 30, 2006

I have to believe that people can change. That Grace can be imbued into their lives. That we can make a difference in their lives. That people don't have to settle for second best. That Jesus can still reign supreme in the lives of those who choose Him to. That the idea of punishment and blessing still exists. That evil is punished and good is rewarded. That God prefers children and seeks to protect them. That fools and evil doers are given what they deserve, the short end of the stick.

I HAVE TO BELIEVE 2 - Thu Dec 07, 2006

I have to believe that man can change. That with an exposure to goodness, to light, to positive reinforcement, they can experience an alteration to their character.

I must believe that man can be better than they are right now, that they are not made only of dust or clay or trash, that they are righteous spirit, that they long for goodness in their souls, that their souls do not rest if they do not feel rested.

I an forced to believe that man wants more than he now has, that the struggle for humanity and goodness and righteousness is a worthy one, and a common one.

I must believe it. I have to believe it. It is my life.

I HAVE TO BELIEVE 3 - Thu Dec 28, 2006

I have to believe that people are capable of being incredible and maintaining their incredibility.

I must believe that the best of people are inherrent in them, because human beings are born of goodness, of the nature of God, that He is in them doing and bringing about His will in their lives.
