U are loved always

2024/9/10 Edited to

... Read moreIt's a question many of us ponder: 'Why should I believe in God?' For me, it wasn't an overnight realization, but a gradual unfolding of understanding and experiencing an incredible, unwavering love. I remember feeling lost at times, searching for something more, something constant to hold onto when life felt uncertain. My journey truly deepened when I encountered communities like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). It wasn't just about sports; it was about understanding a deeper purpose and what it truly means to 'LOVE GOD' and love others. Seeing their dedication and joy, their genuine faith in JESUS CHRIST, made me curious. It wasn't about being told what to believe, but about discovering it for myself through connection and shared experiences. The phrase 'You are loved always' became more than just words; it became a profound truth I started to internalize. I began to understand that God's love isn't conditional; it's not something you earn. It's a constant, unfailing grace, freely given. This realization, for me, was a game-changer. It's the kind of love that grounds you, gives you strength, and provides comfort even in the toughest times. Knowing that I am loved always, no matter what, brought an immense sense of peace and belonging. So, what does it truly mean to 'believe in God'? For me, it means trusting in a divine plan, finding solace and peace in prayer, and striving to live out the teachings of Jesus Christ. It’s about having faith that there's a loving Creator who cares deeply about every detail of my life. It's not about being perfect, but about striving to grow, learn, and connect with that spiritual source daily. It’s an active choice, a daily commitment to lean into that faith. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is about 'Ways to Love Like God.' It's not just about receiving love, but about extending it to others. This means practicing kindness, forgiveness, compassion, and being a source of hope in the world. It’s about reflecting that divine love in our daily actions, whether through simple gestures or larger acts of service. When I started focusing on this, my life felt more purposeful and connected. It truly felt like my actions were aligning with something bigger than myself, and that 'IS GOOD.' Of course, there are moments of doubt, questions, and challenges. Faith isn't a straight line; it's a journey with its ups and downs. But in those moments, remembering that God's love is always present helps me push through. It's a continuous process of learning, growing, and leaning into that faith, often finding answers and comfort in spiritual teachings like those found in 'Love Worth Finding.' If you're exploring what it means to believe, I encourage you to seek out communities, read inspiring stories, and reflect on the idea of an unconditional love. You might find, as I did, that knowing 'You are loved always' can truly transform your outlook on life. It certainly did for me, bringing clarity and purpose to my days.

how the sport i loved ruined my mental health
i had to give up the sport i loved because i couldn’t mentally take it anymore. i had one coach that made my softball career worth it. the day he left the team destroyed me. i had an awful tournament experience before him and after him. i don’t even wanna get into the high school or college stuff.
