Soul Of A Mustard Seed

The cool wind blows from the east and it made me look up to blue sky only to see it clear of any dark and heavy clouds or traces of a storm passing. The sun radiantly sets in the west, leaving a trail of stunningly beautiful shadows of everything its rays touches. I close my eyes and try to feel the tranquility emanating from within me. For I know, I am one with the Creator, this is the heaven I only know.

Unexplained life changes turn to miracles, for it is the Creator's masterpiece to leave things a mystery beyond human comprehension. Tiny things that makes a person happy should be attributed to Him. For as they say, He is most felt when appreciating things that in the first place seemed so unoticeable.

Always think of Him as a friend and not as an angry God to be worshipped and appeased. Pray to Him inside your room, where you can talk to him directly through your own heart. Do good things as much as possible, for bad habits is a part of life. Trust me, no matter how you ask for forgiveness, we are just human not to commit the same mistake over and over again. Believe in Karma, Life is a Yin-Yang. Everything stands in a balance, no matter how we think that the stakes are ours. Forget heaven or hell. There is no such thing as a beautiful life in eternity. I would rather believe in a reincarnation. At least we will always have a chance to correct our big mistakes in an afterlife.

Respect one another, for it is the greatest morality lesson of all. Be open minded and reflective, the Creator never created something that wouldn't create something in return. Worship Him in private. God doesn't need a bolero. When one prays, one should never forget to give thanks. The prayer a person prays should be conversational. I still wonder why a prayer should be in a standard format and must be repeated over and over again.

Respect other religions and treat them as your own. There is only one God and all religions that encourages positivity and respect is a good one. Remember that all religions are human inventions, they are subject to corruption and even human shortcomings. Avoid dogmatism... be spiritual, for the Creator is beyond religion.

Believe in miracles, because they are true. Believe in God because everything was created not by chance but by purpose. Faith springs from the heart and not from a book or preacher. Love is what makes us a creation by God.

Always try to be humble. Faith begins when one accepts Him to have a place in one's heart.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is my faith.
