"Faith and Belief"
Eighty years ago she came into this world. I believe that God had charged her with with an assignment to bear living witness to His miraculous gifts of love and life. She never wavered touching the lives of everyone who got to know her and even the lives of those who only knew her through association.
Anger is a natural human emotion. Hate is something born of anger, but is conceived through our sense of reasoning. Because of this we adopt feelings of hatred, but are not naturally attached to it. Basically, that means we can let hate go if so desired regardless of origin.
Some people want to petition to keep God in American, but that isn’t necessary. God never was in America even though God has always been in America and can never be removed. Here’s why.
Faith in God and the Holy Spirit is all any of us ever need to live victoriously according to God’s riches and glory. Nothing can ever separate that from you.
America is purposely a nation of many religions. Those who clamor for “God in America” typically only want respects for their concepts and beliefs of God. To them that may seem okay, but to others it’s seen as an affront to them – like forcing your beliefs on them.
God gives us the freedom to choose a relationship with Him. It’s not a demand. America is a great nation because we have that same freedom to choose and we must ensure that freedom is equally provided to all regardless of their choice.
I imagine from time to time we all get these emails consisting of a special story of religious or spiritual lessons. Most of them are told from the first person and are, typically, very nice. Most of them usually end with a statement about sending the email on to x amount of people and you will receive a special blessing, but I recently received this one from my aunt that didn’t. I, also, noticed that it appeared to have been originated by my sister.
I make no claims to knowing how she came about it cause I didn’t ask her. I liked the story and how I was not directed to send it to anyone else. Still I find it a beautiful story with a beautiful message so I wanted to share it. So here it is.
I hope you enjoy it and find the message helpful to you in your daily lives.
