I don’t believe faith is a passive state that I am a passive recipient of.
Faith takes inquiry. Faith takes action. Faith takes moments of straddling the gap between the certain and the unknown.
It is movement and process and dance.
Therefore, restoring my faith in people, in love, in relationships, is a process I must choose to actively take part in.
Some of my choices have not supported the growth of my faith in people, in my sacred worth, in the delicious possibility of love in my life.
Some of my choices have supported the narrative I am moving away from, a narrative of lack rather than abundance, a narrative of shame rather than celebration. I am making new choices.
Faith.
I choose to believe. I choose to welcome into my life safe people and experiences who will affirm me, who will bring love and light into my world, who will share in my delight and not dampen my fire. I choose to welcome God’s best for my life.
I choose to receive God’s blessings in my life and revel in them fearlessly. I will learn to dance new steps. I will learn to dream new dreams. I will renew my faith each morning. I will lean into my strength and reveal my tenderness. I will cultivate surrender and wait with anticipation as God’s blessings bloom. I will not fear anticipation. I will not fear tender mercies. I will not fear hope.

You’re really full of yourself. The way you write, while beautiful, it’s like the world revolves around you. “Look at me. I’m perfect but just being”. OK. I want to get this same self esteem.
I don’t believe we’ve met Kyle but thank you for visiting my blog.
