To believe in God

When one believes in God they believe in the inherent goodness of the universe. Though there are those who perpetrate evil, God is there to comfort us. To believe in God is believe that we are never truly alone, that even in the face of death we have a comforting embrace to turn to. God is there in the face of every new mother who hasn't slept in months, God is there when a child laughs for the first time. To believe in God is to believe that one can do anything they wish, God is there when we succeed and when we fail. To believe in God is to be home. God is love, God is strength, God is empowerment.
