Honesty, open-mindedness and willingness. We triumph over danger and life’s inevitable challenges not by the exercise of willpower and brute force but by tapping into the power of the universe. There are many paths that lead to the realization of the existence of God, some seek His face through selfless service, most however travel the roadway of pain, seeking Him when all else has failed and they are bereft of answers. Sickness (our own or a loved ones), addiction, financial stress, failed relationship and death (a loved ones or contemplating our own) are all entry points to the road all will travel. The only instrument sharp enough to cut away the excess of self is pain. The greatest gift you can give yourself is a foundation in faith before the assault on self begins. The pain and discomfort of dealing with the ultimate questions of living will not be lessened, but you will have a clear cut direction to follow out of the wilderness.
Be quick to see where religious people are right. Make use of what they have to offer. Set aside any preconceived ideas and put on a new pair of glasses. Listen and learn with your heart, for in the end, isn’t finding a way out more important than who provides it? If you were drowning and a rope appeared held by a long hated enemy would you refuse it? Put aside your prejudice against any spiritual path, make use of what they offer and join us as we trudge the road of happy destiny.
