Let your religion be less of a theory

“One sees great things from the valley,
only small things from the peak.”
~G.K. Chesterton
All three quotes by the same man. All three. To me they all tie together.
To me, faith is not to be pushed onto another, or even tried to pull from another.
Faith is not magic, it is belief, it is trust, it is love.
I have seen much more from any valley, learned more from the valley and have the ability to set my standards and goals better from that same valley.
If your on top of the mountain sure you see farther but the details are not as crisp nor do you get a true sense that you understand what is happening down there.
In the valley you know whats happening. You feel it, touch it, sense it and your part of it.
I will take the valley everyday but sure, I want to climb that mountain and get to its top. But don't ever wonder if I don't want to help and hang out with those in the valley.
That been there done that feeling never gets lost when your trying to inspire, lift, love and motivate others to learn how to live and leave that valley.
Pain and suffering exists. I know that, you know that. So understand this so does the ability to make a difference, to smile, to laugh, to love, to dream.
Even if your in the valley we as spiritual, loving Christians know that we shall fear no evil, because of our Love for the Lord and our faith in his word.
I don't believe in purple unicorns. But I won't take away or belittle you or ask you to give up your belief.
Many of those who run or doubt or have not faith in these magical things as they call them. Do however.
You have the right to your belief in purple unicorns, thats fine but try not to have such a hard, dark sarcasm about the Christian faith.
For we understand Hebrew 11: 1
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
I know I have used this much lately. But faith is what we all should have in abundance.
Its what we should be grateful for, what we love and cherish so.
Which takes me back to the second quote above.
Let your religion or spiritual belief and faith be less of a theory and discussion and more about sharing love, sharing that smile, shining your light.
You live like that, people will start to understand your love affair with faith, with God, with the story of Jesus.
They will seek out and find because of the light and love you have shined all around them.
Not because you pushed them.....pulled them and dragged them to the word. No that has not effect.
But with love they will see. Now will they see right away, will they want to run to the light always. NO of course not, and thats ok, your still living the life of love, laughter, joy and faith.
Not a bad thing to want to share at all is it?
Not a bad thing at all.
I love to write and share and inspire and give to you that gift that flows through my fingers. Do I make mistakes at the keyboard.
Sure I do, just as I do in life. I need a editor, lol, I need that bad. However I do believe that my 961 posts that I have written and shared here and on Redgage, and on Triond, and on Blogger and MMSO (MakeMeSmileOnline) have an impact just the same.
Impact and love and inspiration shared with the reader.
Not a bad thing at all.
Share that smile of yours, first with yourself in that mirror each morning and then with others.
Share that laughter with yourself first of course others will find it flowing freely from you. They will laugh as well its contagious.
Share that love, even if you feel unloved, or in that valley of despair love will find you.
God loves you every day and when you seek him, you can't help but see him, feel him, sense him, love him.
He is all around.
He is in all the good that this word still shares so freely.
God is indeed everywhere.
You just need to seek and have faith and love.
Dream ~ Smile ~ Laugh~ Love always
and as always smiles sent out to you! : )
