Menno Reitse Bouma2d agoWhat do you mean when you say "believe in God" / "having faith" etc? Literally thinking and/or feeling there is an almighty entity out there that has your destiny mapped out for you, so no need to worry about yourself any longer?
I was raised religiously, wouldnt say I "believe in God" in that sense (although that depends on how we define it of course) but still the older I get, the easier I find it to not worry about myself or live for myself.
Not trying to be a dick or start a religious argument here btw, just curious what it means for you when you say that 🧐

Jason 2d agoSaying you believe in God and actually believing in God are not the same. Saying you have faith and actually having faith are not the same. Believing in God is a 24/7 demonstration of selflessness and love. There is no room for ego in believing in God.
Having faith, is tiring. It is so much work. "Faith without works is dead." Faith is holding one's self to the highest standard of action, solely for the benefit of God. Not for the benefit of self. Self may reap rewards if faith is acted upon properly, but that is not the goal of having faith. The goal is to always be in service of the Divine regardless of the outcome.
