Beliefs

What are some of your beliefs? Do you believe in God, unicorns, aliens? What do you think about yourself, your government leaders, church leaders? What do you believe about people?

There seems to be so much unrest & strife these days. I was talking to my brother the other day about something & he reminded me about a saying, 'Believe half of what you see & none of what you read, except for aliens they are real!'  That made me laugh. Information about things change so much and it seems like every second these last few years in this pandemic. So what do we hold on to? Where do we look too when EVERYTHING seems untrue or uncertain?

I know what I do I look to God & the bible. I am learning to read it & learning to interpret it. I also find people who surround me that are wise & are firmly grounded in God. For me I find comfort knowing that God is there & He is in control even when it doesn't feel like it. Really it seems like life is getting out of control. Conspiracies seem to be on the rise & I see the lack of respect for each others opinions is on the rise. 

Life is so precious & we have only this one to live. Respecting our neighbours ideas & beliefs is important. We don't need to agree on everything to be nice. We don't need to be right all the time either. Even if we are right it is ok to be gentle or not to say anything that may seem harsh. I recently had someone say some things on a post I made. It was truthful yet it felt harsh at a time I needed gentleness. They could not & now they are hurt. I could have said nothing & maybe I should have. Some people are brash & in your face. They don't do gentle. When you are a people pleaser like me it is hard to please everyone. I cannot please everyone. 

So today remember to be gentle, be kind & remember we are all human. Perfection is overrated & unattainable in this world.
