What is……
Prayer
Prayer is fellowship with God Almighty.
Prayer is relationship.
Connecting with God.
My bridge to God – a privilege given by our Father to open communication between us.
A perfect thing when you need to listen or to talk, to be loud or even quiet.
To talk to God, communication with someone who cares.
My conversation with God.
A breath of fresh air from God that isn’t corrupted and a way to peace in your soul.
A comfort and privilege, a gift from God. Communicating with my creator, savior, Father and best friend.
Prayer is when you talk 2 God in a way that comes from the heart.
Communion.
So mysterious, so powerful
because of the Spirit,
sometimes a weight, a burden
sweet, tender, intimate
honesty
confession healing being
moved – talking listening
A time to let God change your heart.
A conversation between God and me.
Talking to God while washing the dishes
Us actively taking part in the conversation that God began with us the moment he created us, and us choosing to acknowledge and be with our closest friend.
Trying to express what cannot be uttered; an overflow of the inner self, reaching toward Jesus.
A conversation with a close friend where all is laid out.
Life
The sense of completeness when you find yourself with God. The unending reality, above all the cheap cheap imitations offered by the world.
Without God, not much, really.
Life is our book that God is writing. A book about ______(your name).
The real expression of grace.
“Today is a gift from God, that’s why we call it the present.”
An option that leads to eternal life or death. A chance to praise God and be loved by a wonderful Lord.
A gift.
An opportunity to spread the Gospel.

A blink of an eye compared to eternity in heaven or hell.
Life is eternal with God. FOREVER, never ends…that’s a long time. Life is living with Jesus.
Living every day with our creator; not only with him, but for him.

Relationship with Christ
Apple pie
The now
Everything.
Suffering, joy, pain, love, friendships, laughter, tears, family, a time to grow with God.
Beauty
Beauty is being all that God created me to be – when a rose is beautiful it means that it is fulfilling the role God has given it – to be pleasing to my eye, and its smell fragrant to my nose – when it does these things then I say it is beautiful – fulfilling and BEING what God created it to do and BE. When I am, and let God make me, all that I was created to be.
Well said! So it is then that a person living well for God even appears beautiful because of the very presence of God in them.
Beauty isn’t a gift from God. The inner beauty is the gift of God. Everyone is stuck mostly on one thing and that is how pretty they look or how great they have to look in front of everybody. In a scripture it says, “God looks past all of the gold earrings, fragrances, beautiful hair and takes a look at your heart and that’s where he finds the beauty.”
Anything or anyone who touches you in a positive way.
God and his wonderful words.
Beauty is what God made.
Beauty is something that lies within all of God’s creations. It’s a combination of character and the mere touch of God’s creativity.
Kindness.
Knowing God loves you so much that he created you in His own image. How special is that?
All of God’s creation is beauty, especially humans who are created in the likeness of God and He is beautiful.
Beauty is a person who is using all of the gifts God has given them.
Beauty is freedom at its greatest and best moment. It is what God gave us to let us know that we are truly loved by him and will be forever.
The awe-inspiring mountains, the breath-taking sunsets, the vast ocean, the uniqueness of an individual…all created by God’s hands.
New-fallen snow
Every human soul.
forgiveness
smiles
Beauty is everything. Beauty is perseverance through the pain, beauty is the aftermath of a wretched disaster, beauty is all that nature has perfected, created, all through God’s hands, divine. Beauty is in all that we see, all that we do, all that we experience, so long as God is there to experience with it, through pain, joy, devastation, poverty, wealth…if God is there it is beautiful. Beauty is the understanding we have in a world full of ugliness.

What is compassion?

Truth
All truth emerges from the reliability of God.
Truth can be experienced. But can it be fully known? No. Jesus is truth. We seek to know Him and experience His love and grace, but we will only fully know Him when we see Him face to face.
Truth is the most freeing thing that you can have. You do not have to remember what you said in the end. “Let the truth set you free.” Christ is truth.
In Ecclesiastes, the author declares nearly everything in the end meaningless, fading and a chasing after the wind – all will face, all our pursuits, an illusion – TRUTH is that which ultimately in the end is real, has meaning, that which can never fade – truth then truly is Christ – his words are true – “I am the truth,” he says.
It is Jesus. It is the choice we would always select if we were in God’s presence. It is the razor edge – neither left nor right – but the living center, where God is. If it is true, it is God. And so it is alive. Not changing, but never the same because it is unchanging in the midst of constant change.
Reality.
Truth is what we always look for and hope we find.
The Bible and the word and God is truth. TRUTH – not lies. Lying is wrong, therefore Jesus is truth.
Something we will never understand till we are face to face with God (truth). Until then it is an abstract concept that we give to what we think we know.
Absolute yet unknown.
