Until my testimony tomorrow, I pose a question.
What do you believe in? Does your life reflect that belief? What would you be willing to give and/or to give up for that belief? Does that belief shape your thoughts, your actions, and your life?
I hope this question stirs up something within, for really, the answer to that question is only important to you and God, no one else. Just to note ... a few years ago I did not believe in anything ... not even myself. Life is meaningless without Hope, without purpose. Does your belief offer forgiveness and eternal life (love)?
So I ask you ... what do you believe in?

I'm not a cynical person, but I still have a difficult time trusting other people. I guess that's why I struggle with trusting God. I mean, if I can't trust people who I *can* see, how can I really trust God, whom I can't see, right?
I claim to be a Christian who has a relationship with God. I claim to believe in the Triune God - but the Bible says that even the demons believe and shudder. You can't really say you're believe and trust God until you have fully submitted all areas of your life to Him, right?
Once I believe in something, I am willing to give up pretty much anything for that belief - everything except for my faith. The one thing that I will never let go is my faith. However, just as a commitment to another person means serving that person every day, instead of just fighting through the difficult times or celebrating the good times, I need to serve God every day, not just when times are really good or bad.
I struggle with unforgiveness when it comes to a certain person in my life... I guess it's because she has been my harshest critic for the past 25 years. However, I have committed to God and to her to show her an agape love. It's difficult sometimes, but I have been living up to that promise so far... and I know I could not have done that without a prior understanding of God's love and grace.
So what do I believe in? Nothing other than God. Maybe I am somewhat of a cynic after all... or maybe it's past 2:00am on a school night and I'm not thinking straight. Ask me sometime in person. =)
