I have to admit, I'm not really sure when you showed up in my life - but I know I like You. I like You when the world's "ending" and when that tidal wave of insecurity, lies, and uncertainty comes a-crashing.

I love You, my Faith, for being the strength in my weakness, the calm in my storms, and the foundation I can stand on when everything feels shaky. You make my happiness into joy that can withstand anything and my life one of purpose. One of meaning. One of worth.

You tell me that I'm not an accident or haphazardly made. I'm a princess of the King of Kings. Worthy of love and uniquely made to do great and beautiful things. You show me how lives are being changed, wrongs are being righted, and darkness. is. losing. And will lose. Because You are so much stronger.

You are the only God who both created the universe and pursues my wandering heart. You don't ask for a show. Or perfection. Or my "religion" to try to get your attention. You simply ask for me. For us. To let You love us and give us the power to truly love others.

I don't know where I'd be without You, and I don't think I want to. You're the same Faith that has inspired and fueled generations of people - from Ancient Rome to the African villages to the explorers and scientists and inventors that changed the world. In all eras and corners of the Earth, You have reached people seeking hope.

And that.

That's pretty epic.

So thank You, my Faith. For all the You are. And all that make me.

Your name is Jesus. And You make my Faith worth having.
