God is evident in our everyday lives

Faith is a way of seeing things. When we choose faith, to believe, we are also choosing to denounce evil and sinful ways. To have faith and embrace faith, we have to believe in love and also to practice love, for love is the binding of our faith. To make a permanent commitment in love, in particular, is to grow up in a very important way. When we are grounded in faith, we are strong and have inner peace. When we do not reach inner stillness we are forever restless.

Living a life a faith means living a life of blessing. Being faithful means giving and receiving blessings. “To be blessed is to be oneself a blessing,” says Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Being faithful and living in faith also means to be joyful. If not, when joy breaks down, eventually everything breaks down. When we bless someone we speak well of him or of her. If we are unblessed we suffer very deeply. Blessings deconstricts the heart and blessing begets blessing.

To live a life without faith is to live in loneliness. We may have human contact but our inner selves and beings still yearns for more. There are five basic kinds of human loneliness. They are alienation, restlessness, rootlessness, psychological depression and moral loneliness. Our deepest aloness is moral. When we listen to our own loneliness we connect with ourselves. Our hearts, minds, and bodies are restless until they rest in God. It is important that we surround ourselves with people who will not drain our inner spirits. We should not travel with people who expects us to be exciting all the time.

Living in faith helps us to identify situations which can affect and break our lives. One popular aspect of our lives that needs to be policed is our sexual life. Sex if not done under the right circumstances does more harm than good to our lives. There are three kinds of sex, each with three effects. Abusive sex destroys our soul. Casual sex trivializes our soul, and sacramental sex, the one we should participate in, builds up the soul.

Nothing that is truly great is achieved easily, and that goes for faith as well. To have great faith take dedication and perseverance, and so does love. Great love, like great art, takes great effort, sustained commitment, and lots of time.

“Our doing brings success, but our being bears fruit,” says the great Henri Nouwen.

Life is nature and nature is life. They are there to inspire us for us to use our imagination. A healthy imagination is the opposite of resignation, abdication, naive optimism, or despair.

    • Indeed, He is. Amen to that! I believe, and based on experience all these years-- faith is nothing if we have not applied our faith into hearing with active action. Otherwise, we'd be liken to all-thunder-and-lightning without rain. All professors of faith but no impact on other people's hearts because there are no good works.

      Thanks for your post.

    • I like your post about god for me leading a god life is posible if i let god drive and i take a back seat when im driving its all about me i relate to the statement faith with out works is dead i understand its an inside job today

      • Thank you for reading and sharing. Continue putting Gd first. It wont be easy, but all he ask is that we try our very best.

    • You don’t. Go and live life.

      That being said, please, by all means, be loving and kind. It not only comes back to you, it helps to heal this sick world.

      “God” doesn’t care if you believe in “God” or not. “God” DOES, though, ask for you to be nice and not an asshole. So be nice. Live life and live it well. Be the best YOU that YOU can be, and enjoy this very short life.

    • There are six things Yahweh hates; seven inner being detests: the proud look, the lying tongue, hands which spill innocent blood, the depraved heart, feet which speed towards evil, a false and lying witness and the one who sows discord among people.-Proverbs 6:16-19
