There are so many different dictionaries that the internet enables us to use as resources. For some words, simple definitions that contain only a few words, the language of origin, and maybe one or two example sentences do not fully express the full meaning behind the word. I grew up reading the Bible, I use it as a reference for all kinds of trials in my life. When I think about religion I think of the golden rule. All religions agree in their humblest existence on the idea that treating others the way that we want to be treated makes for a happy human world. Well, there has been elaborate action in the complete opposite direction. 2 Corinthians 9:7, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” For many people who have been shown the light of the world through education and love understand the importance of doing what one believes is right. To go against your heart is a great tragedy. Philippians 2:3-4, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his interests, but also for the interests of others.” It is so important to recognize ourselves in other people. People are so quick to judge, but in reality every one has been through a hell of a lot living here. Everyone deserves mutual respect because you never know who you are going to meet or what that person will do in your life. Hebrews 13:2, “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so some have unwittingly entertained angels.” I love this message. We should all be so inspired to keep an open mind. The Bible is open for interpretation. Many Christians believe charity is about Jesus Christ. Looking to Jesus Christ by the way he lives his life. I am not sure totally what to believe, but I know that if you follow your heart and do what you believe is best, and most of all to really believe that miracles can happen, then they will. People can divide into groups because they want to believe in tradition or keep a part of culture alive, but for all of us, no matter what we say or do, love will always be the human religion.
