I Believe in God

 

 

I believe in the God of Abraham

         who led our ancestors out of the wilderness

I believe in the God of Moses

         who led our Grandfathers out of slavery

I believe in the God of Jesus

         who showed us the way to eternal life

I believe in the poor in spirit,
          for they have shown us the kingdom of heaven.
 I believe in those who those who mourn,
          for they will show us how to be comforted.
I believe in those who are meek,
          for they will show us how to inherit the earth.
I believe in those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
          for they will show us to be filled.

I believe in those who are merciful,
          for they will show us how to attain mercy.

I believe in those who are pure in heart,
          for they will show us how to see God.

 I believe in those who are the peacemakers,
          for they will show us how to be called children of God.
I believe in those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
          for they will show us the way to the kingdom of heaven. 

This is why I pray: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matt 5:16)
