Faith & Religion
I am the last person to preach, I don’t get on a soapbox, I don’t want to say something about Faith vs. Religion. Not that I am knocking organized religion as a whole. As a whole I feel that religion serves it purpose for those that practice it. Faith is always the highest denominator of all Religions.
Peace be upon you all.
The truth is that so many fall out of favor with religion, whether it is a bad preacher, a bad experience, or money, many have experienced doubts. What I want to say is that when you know this doubt, trust your Faith. It will lead you home.
Faith and religion are not the church, synagogue, mosque, temple only. They are the knowing you believe in something more than today. Knowing that tomorrow will be different than today. Knowing that tomorrow may not be there, and that when it is not, there is something more when tomorrow no longer comes.
Here then are 10 thoughts on Faith & Religion:
1. HE will understand. When you have faith, you know that GOD, your GOD, will understand. The faith you have in HIM will be HIS due.
2. It’s okay to doubt. HE gave us this for a reason. HE would not expect us to be blind in our Faith.
3. Money is the root of all evil. Faith is not in the almighty dollar. It is in your almighty GOD.
4. Prayers are like tears. Lost but not forgotten. HE will not deny you your sadness through Faith.
5. Laughter is the best medicine. When you Rejoice in your faithful life, you praise HIM.
6. You are not alone in your Faith or Religion. HE will fill your life with love and surround you with HIS light.
7. Practice daily what you believe. Your Faith will guide those around you; religious, faithful, and unbeliever alike.
8. Do not condemn. Your Faith is yours, their religion is theirs. Judgment is HIS alone.
9. Lift up your Religion. Strengthen another’s religious self to include the Faith you know.
10. Religion and Faith follow no Man. There are prophets, speakers of the Faith. Follow your Faith in GOD each time to find what you are looking for.
I want to say I use GOD, HIM, HIS, HE as a nod to my Faith, not to pass my view on as the truth, this is what I believe.
I truly believe that whatever YOU believe is best for you. Just keep believing and hold true to your Faith.

ps. As an afterthought, I failed to mention I wrote this for my youngest Son who is struggling with a matter of Religion vs. Faith. Join me in sending him your prayers to guide him towards renewing his Faith.
