Religion

Faith isn't a contributory feeling.

Salvation is a personal race, so how intimate are you with your beliefs?

Jesus died to save "us" not the earth

If we are going to be recipients of God's grace, then we must give grace to others.

You don't have to try really hard to get God to like you.

He is already deeply, perfectly, unconditionally in love with you.

If you don't know how it started, you can't understand how to preserve it.

Religion blinds.

Spirituality gives sight.

Just be yourself

No forming for God

He already knows

He gets you

He will redefine you gradually

But first, no forming for God

Be your damn self

United we stand (spirituality)

Divided we fall (Religion)

The word is the truth

But the truth is quite hard to live by

Because we live in a world where the truth hardly prevails

However, put on a good fight.

God knows what we are and he loves what we are

As we are

Not just as we "should be"

Or "could be"

Mental Abstraction:

The issue of religion is still quite vague to me, considering the fact that it is one of the most mind boggling things I have set out to figure out.

My personal search for God was out of my search for life's meaning and sometimes, it takes having to be in a dark place to find the light.

Sometimes, there is no light to find. Mind you.

I sometimes play with the idea that I might have an invisible friend "GOD" but what's a girl to say when things actually begin to manifest because I "supposedly" spoke life into some words?

Not to stress this further, there is indeed a supreme being, energy, power and to realize this for ourselves, to find how to navigate through life properly and to maintain mental clarity and stability, we need to connect with it.

It is pointless worshipping a human under the assumption that they have more liberty over us because of some perceived authority or association with the supreme.

Find God for yourself. Not mandatory but advisable.
