Faith is something close to your heart that you believe in from your own experience and understanding of life. Your spirit carries your faith, it may not be from a religious standpoint but could be faith in your family, friends, and Doctors to do the right thing by another requires faith.
Nobody on this planet Earth can take your faith away. There are good and bad organizations that take advantage of people when they are vulnerable and weak, but focusing on your own faith, your own beliefs, and your own needs and dreams, takes the daily practice of love and peace or in my instance daily prayer. I have prayed and visited many churches, temples, monasteries, and sacred places no matter what my faith is or that of another, prayer can be really healing, it activates compassion and love for another, and I have witnessed miracles when collective prayer is held.
In my daily practice of my faith, I spend time meditating and walking peacefully and mindfully everywhere I go. I take the time to invest daily practice in my faith, it helps me engage with people, have the courage to make it through the day, and smile knowing that a true loving faith and community makes your dreams come true just with a smile. You can learn to have faith by not letting sorrows hurt you anymore, having faith knowing you have love, and somebody who is there to take care of you, and you are also taking care of them by having faith in unity and love.
If your faith has crumbled or an organization like a church or place of worship has let you down, having faith that God does not judge, nor should those that kneel down, take a vow and prayer to be a kind and loving Christian. Joining a church or community centre can help you have faith again in this new way of living, I have met the most beautiful souls in many churches, community centres, and places of refuge. We are born free, and to do it your way right to the end is what we all want in life, to make it over the line knowing you have climbed so many mountains to get there.
When we were children, we had faith in those that were teaching us, even if our childhood was one of sorrow, as a child we had faith in others right up until adolescence when we are fully developed and capable of making our own choice. If your faith, compassion, and understanding have been diminished, hurt, and abused it is very hard to trust and have faith again. It is not something you pluck out of the sky or is it something that you are reborn back into to. You either had it there from the time of birth or you never had experienced it to know what it is. Find your own faith in Mother Nature then you will find it in everyday life.
All I wish for you to feel is my open heart and teaching given to me, showing you that we believe in you, and this book can be your support guide, helping you to have faith again in yourself and those around you, to trust, let go and see that right up until the end, the light never goes out, the spirit still smiles. Faith is our non-profit small organization supporting our Monastry Willow Tree Shrine & Sanctuary and other non-profit charities that we work with worldwide. Thank you for the support we truly appreciate you just reading our cause and sending us love, heartfelt love back to you from us all.
