God.

I can't remember who first said this to me, I think it was my Pastor, but a wise bird once told "even if you don't believe in God, God believes in you". I was very touched by the sentiment and the truth that it contains.
I can tell you I believe in God, I can even tell you what I think God looks like but I couldn't give you a clear, coherent argument as to wether God really exsists or not, I just know, deep in my heart and brain that God does.
My journey to faith has been a long and stressful one. Sometimes my heart has been broken, sometimes my skin. Sometimes I didn't want to live to see another day. Somedays I still don't. But the difference now is I have a God who loves me so much that He/She would take on human form and die a terrible death just to prove that I AM worthy. I've got a God who is fighting my corner, who is keeping me strong, who is loving and uplifting me every step of the way and preparing me to sit at Her/His feet for all eternity.
In short I have a God who loves me, who gives me forgiveness, mercy and grace. Who takes the trials and hardships in my life and turns the curses into blessings. I have a parent who is slow to anger, even when I do hugley idiotic things that hurt myself, others and them; a parent who is swift to bless me and welcome me home with open arms.
I have been the prodigal son, I have been Saul, I have been and done things that I'm ashamed of. But Jesus has taken my shame, and by his death and ressuerection, has made me worthy to stand before God and be love for all my brokeness and shame.
God has torn me down and is slowly rebuilding me to be a perfect work to God's glory. I'm unfineshed, a work in progress but no more will I stray from the heart or the hand of the One who is shaping me.
The Creator, The Christ and The Holy Spirit, three in one, are my guid and my lodestone, God is the only compass I need because I know that my God would never steer me wrong and if I follow the truth of God I will end up in Zion.

May God's love and blessings fall on you all,
Lara.
