3 characteristics of my God

• spiritual

Shaping purpose: 

 

I had a moment in my life when I just thought that religion was stupid and useless and that it only caused war and disagreements that the world didn't need. Then I went on a service trip. This service trip was sponsored by Compassion, a christian organisation. It was different churches helping the poor, giving a free education and introducing religion to the kids and families. Suddenly religion made a lot more sense to me. I made my own conclusion from it. It represent hope, hope some people sometimes think that they shouldn't think of, it's our inner power to fight the struggle of life. 

I remember: 

Through life everyday, whenever I feel down and I look at the future, always brighter than the present. 

The Shema: 

It is hope, 

it is what makes you stronger, 

it a new day, a new life, 

everyday is a clean plate, 

everyday is a chance to make it better, 

for ourselves and for others. 

Extend your hand, 

give others your hope, 

share your feelings, 

make mistakes, 

start over, 

it's a new day.
