Reflections on Faith

The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland...Isaiah 43:20

My faith is often expressed on words written on scraps of paper or in the back of a composition book. I thought this cold and gloomy day would be a good time to eliminate some of the clutter and send my thoughts to the cloud. 

Face your fears with faith.

Examine your assumptions in light of the facts.

Attack your anxieties with action.

Release your cares to God.

We can unlearn fear, thus we can find freedom.

Faith has no limits: persist without exception; expect miracles; focus on a decided heart.

Strengthening others' faith in themselves, and in their own high potential.

Develop a heart reaching out to embrace all mankind as brothers and sisters.

Understanding that my highest duty is to love.

Understanding the different.

Life lived for the good of others.

God is over all things

under all things,

outside all,

within, but not enclosed,

without, but not excluded,

above, but not raised up,

below, but not depressed,

wholly above, presiding,

wholly without, embracing,

wholly within, filling.

Hildevert of Lavardin

Reverence for all life.

Worshiping God everywhere, in everything.

Loyalty to include all beings as one's on.

Finding love through giving love.
