The Modern Creed
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is one true church, apostolic and universal, whose holy faith, let us now declare:
We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, power and love, whose mercy is over all his works, and whose will, is ever directed to his children’s good.
We believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of man, the gift of the Father’s unfailing grace, the ground of our hope, and the promise of our deliverance from sin and death.
We believe in the Holy Spirit as the divine presence in our lives, whereby we are kept in
perpetual remembrance of the truth of Christ and find strength and help in time of need.
We believe that this faith should manifest itself in the service of love as set forth in the example of our blessed Lord, to the end that the kingdom of God may come upon the earth.
Amen.

The Apostle’s Creed
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 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.
The third day, He arose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven and sits at 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 Spirit, the Holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.

The Provision of Forgiveness
Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble.
1 John 2:10, NIV
Webster defines “hatred” as a hostility, aversion, or dislike usually derived from fear, anger, or injury. This is exceedingly helpful as we look toward obeying our Lord’s commandment to love.
Our fear makes us hate. Sometimes without true data-based confirmation, we feel someone does not like us. Our fear and anticipated rejection elicits aversion.
Our anger makes us hate. We have been wronged, legitimately wronged! “They injured me! I hate them!”
This is why faith and forgiveness are so important in God’s value system. If we have faith, we do not give place to our unsubstantiated fears. If we have forgiveness, we don’t entertain anger or hatred.
“But,” you say, “those are easy platitudes; if only you understood the degree of injury…”
If God calls us to love, there must be some provision for the really difficult-to-love cases. This provision is called forgiveness.
Do you hate somebody? Dislike? How about a slight aversion? May the Lord give us the capacity to forgive and love.

Exercise is like a magic potion for your brain. When you move your body, whether it's jogging, dancing, or even brisk walking, your brain releases special chemicals called endorphins. These tiny messengers help you feel happier and reduce stress. Exercise also increases blood flow to your brain, which can improve your mood and help you think more clearly.
Moreover, regular physical activity can help you sleep better, which is crucial for mental health. When you sleep well, your brain has time to recharge and process emotions, making you feel more balanced and less anxious. Think of exercise as a natural stress-relief tool, like a warm bath after a long day. It washes away tension and helps you relax. (from Explain it Daily)
