I thought about this passage in the Bible that says when you are fasting that you shouldn’t act like it. You should wear good clothes, wash your face, and make the appearance that you are having a normal day. I used to think that it was about not trying to get anyone to feel sorry for you, but it’s really about not calling attention to yourself.
I believe God wants me to share my faith with others, but somehow I don’t think that the way to share my faith with others is to make them compare their faith journey with mine. I don’t think anyone should see how this works for me and think that they are wrong in their own beliefs. It shouldn’t be like that. Each faith journey is personal.
What I do hope for is the chance to share my journey and hope that it glorifies God. I hope that when I share how it works for me that somehow I can show someone else that faith can work for them. If nothing else, I hope that if someone see my life and how I live it, then maybe they will see God’s love at work and they will recognize that there is still love in world.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
