Blessed are you, Lord, my God, who is King of the Universe. Grant Your peace unto me as I grant peace unto You through Your works. Draw near to me as I draw near to You. My peace I give unto You as You give Your peace unto me. For You are the God of happiness, love and mercy. Blessed is my Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, our Prince of Peace. My heart I give to Him as He, a divine figure, gave His life for me, a flawed sinner. He, who is without sin, extends His love without expecting perfection from us in return. Neither judgment nor condemnation are upon us unless we put them on ourselves. As our Redeemer, He encourages all of us to heed His promptings and commandments but rejoices as we improve ourselves through grace and mercy. As His follower, I vow to go with Him not to the ends of the earth, but to eternity, and throughout. His love fills my soul, as does His light that clears my path as I walk through the mists of darkness. My heart I give to Him. My soul I give to ...

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16 I look forward to the day Christmas comes as it marks the celebration of the most wonderful gift that God gave to the world. Jesus Christ came to Earth like any human being would through normal conception. He lived like a human. He breathed like a human. He loved like a human. He spoke like a human. He walked like a human. He hurt like a human. He was all human, but at the same time, He was all divine because He was spiritually and physically the Son of God. A man both connected to Heaven and to Earth, linked between God and mankind. Without Him, I know there'd be no bridge that can lead to redemption from our worldly sins; or eternal life with God in the heavens.

As an adult facing harder times than a youth or a child could, how do I keep my spirits up when I'm faced with loneliness, depression or isolation stemming from anything? That is an excellent question because it takes so much to answer it or to uplift ourselves during our adult years. While being an adult offers much independence & wisdom, it also comes with much responsibility and darkness, and those can be more challenging than we imagine. While you were a kid, it was easy to dream of growing up because grown-ups have cell phones, drive cars, wear adult-sized clothes or makeup, or experience interesting things our bodies go through. But when you reach adulthood, you learn the hard way that it's not exactly what you imagined. While it grants some liberation, it doesn't come free of duties, obligations or challenges we never thought possible when we were kids. We have to pay bills, buy groceries, make even the toughest decisions we never wanted to. This is why I advise ...

How do I keep light, hope, and love in my heart as I go about my days? Well... I think the answer is simple, really. I need light to see that there's still hope for the world so that I can build up love and share it with others through the light I can bring to them as I've seen it for myself. It's not easy to find because our minds are so clouded with darkness and mists that we don't know where to turn. But if we focus and hold on, even to a tiny speck of that light, we can find our way through the dark. As long as we keep it inside our hearts, we will never be led astray. We will make mistakes for sure because that's part of life. But if we learn from it and store our insights inside ourselves and use them for the better, we aren't far from the path we've walked on toward the light.
