An interesting Question

“Why ARE you so religious?”

This question caught me by surprise, simply because I believe that my Faith in Christ is a relationship (not a religion) and Salvation is by Faith and not works.

However, over the next two days, the Lord showed me another way to paraphrase the question with another question....

“Why do you love your father so much?”

No matter what the answer is..... be it that my father loves me, protects me, raised me, helps me out in difficult situations, stands by me, understands and encourages me, believes in me, and is always there for me; my Father in heaven is hundred times better in every aspect. Above and beyond everything that any human father can accomplish, as a child of God He loves me unconditionally, forgives all my sins (past, present and future) and promises to be with me until the end of times, even after my life on this earth. 

“Those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.” Psalm 9:10

“Everything you have today is a gift from God to you.

He is the One who has given you the energy, vitality, health, ideas, and opportunities that have led you to your “possessing” all that you have.

Surely as He has provided for you all your life, He will continue to provide for you as you trust Him, obey Him, and seek to do His Will.” (God’s Way, Charles Stanley)

Praise the Lord and special thanks to my friend that raised this question.
