I can’t imagine my life without God. I don’t want to ever feel differently. Even though terrible things happen, they are the fault of people. Some may say, “How could God let this happen.” But God can never be responsible for the evil that is perpetrated by people. It is people that cause these things to happen. All we can control in this life is our own behavior. And our behavior can either harm or help any situation in which we may find ourselves.
If enough people believe in the goodness of humanity, this may not be the ultimate answer to any problem, but it is a step in the right direction. Striving to be such a person may only be one small action in the scheme of things. But all any one person can do is control one’s own actions. And it does make a difference even if we can’t see it. Believing in the good can never do harm, but may be a catalyst for even great things to happen.
A person does not need to believe in God to be a force for good in this world. Belief in God is a gift. It is unlikely that any person would believe in anything without being exposed to it. We are all born into different families, with different beliefs or even no beliefs. That is where our life begins. What happens after that is usually determined by our parents and/or other adults that come into our lives.
Belief in God is a gift. And I believe in the goodness of humanity. One does not have to believe in God to be a good person. And people can believe in God and still do horrible things. But as for me, no matter what may happen, I can’t imagine my life without God.
