Life Expectancy, according to Real Estate: expect Faith
Faith, defined, in my humble opinion, is not something acquired … not something that needs relevance, or theory, or ‘proof’ according to tribulation or hardship. It’s solace. It’s where we go to find comfort, to find happiness, to find understanding, to look to internal strength, not simply turning to God in need of repair. My thought, is that we acquire strength of character, according to personal integrity. We learn from everything we do. What we do, all of it, counts. So, when we are as strong as we can be for ourselves, not asking of God for assistance, we find compassion, non-judgment, and diversity. All these which deliver us into an understanding for human frailty, and for me, this leads to a truest desire for excellence, and a hope that all might benefit from a personal understanding of themselves. Not through charity, but as a requirement for decency and allowability. I believe we are best, when pressed to take action for ourselves. Adversity, through testament of faith, requires one to need; if we have no personal need of help from God, our faith turns to devotion. I found devotion, and I believe I am and have always been devoted to One God, since the beginning of time. My faith, although derided often, has never been in question.
A friend once said, “Faith is evidence of things unseen”… and, I believe faith is deliverance. I believe faith is dedication… I love God. I believe God exists, everywhere, and is found in abundant strength. To live faith, is to live life according to one’s own dedication. Where are you, when at your very best? A Kindergarten motto from my kids’ lower school days: “Is it safe, Is it kind, Is it my best work” … I believe God provides opportunity, not medication. I believe God looks to us as children, as I look to my own, and as I so hope that they will grow to be physically, emotionally, mentally; strong and independent. I believe God’s word, is God’s own desire that God may always find comfort in the knowledge that God’s existence, is for faithful devotion, not obedience to religious doctrine, nor fear of retribution from judgmental diatribe. ‘Fear of God’ is not faithful. In other words, I know God makes up the difference: for inability, for weakness, and in deterioration; and faith provides that, as well. Religion teaches to look to God as a quick fix, so to speak. My belief is to look inside myself for strength, first, asking only for God’s reassurance, and knowing, absolutely, that I have it. My strength has been tested, and is currently being so tested, and I know God. So, although this life is a burden, I know God… my mantra, which has, at times been constant iteration and reiteration, playing in my head: ‘Pray, Believe, Think positive thoughts”…
I pray for strength.
I desire to work at the community level, where real estate as I see it, belongs to God, as structural adhesion to community. As places of worship in our lives; whether it be paying homage to “the man” or delivering and receiving comfort through fellowship on a Sunday morning, and everything in-between.
Our lives require shelter, our structures are God’s own. |
