What Do I Believe?

At our core, we do know what we believe. We just have to be daring enough to reveal it to ourselves. ~ Casey, Karen. Each Day a Renewed Beginning (p. 168). Mango Media. Kindle Edition.

What do I believe?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body
, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Simple enough. I’ve known how
to recite the Apostles Creed
along with others in a congregation
for seventy years. That says what I believe, right?
Do I believe that? The descended into Hell
included? No. Catholic church?
Well, yes, catholic means worldwide
. What do I believe, deep down inside?
God made me and God don’t make junk.
God is in charge and I’m better served
if I don’t try to take over.
At my core, I do know what I believe.
I just have to be daring enough
to reveal it to myself.
