We are twice armed if we fight with faith - Plato

This quotes of Plato has a deep meaning for those of us who lead their lives through FAITH. When we talk about our faith, isn't it sometimes turn into a debate? But why? Do we need to study or test every person just to know how strong their faith are? In today’s world, all of us have our own beliefs, ideas, and practices in our own religion so that we can be good person in the eyes of people surround us and especially to the eyes of our Creator. Sometimes because of our religion, divides us people. Yes! It divides us. Because sometimes the teachings of what religion we belong is contradict to some other religions or they did not accept, they did not open their hearts and the tendency is that we people of God, fought each other. Although we belong to different religions, we may have different beliefs, practices, the most important is that we only have one God, he loves us very much, our creator and our only one savior. Many world religions today have their own definitions of faith. According to what I've red is that faith, is the essence of things we hoped for. It is a persistent embrace of our highest aspirations and yearnings, a humble trust that they can be or can become reality. So for me in short when we say faith it is also a HOPE that though you have many problems in life we should TRUST God that he can help you no matter what happen. Keep our faith. Because I believe that he is the only one that we can give our 100% trust.

I will tell you a short story, this story is true, and this is my real story. It happened last year it is a Holy Week! That month I am so happy because after a long year my father back to Philippines to have some vacation. But that happiness turn into a sadness, the smile that always on my face fades away! In the middle of the Night I am watching a movie on my laptop, and then my neck becomes itchy so I need to put some gel to the parts so that it will lease the itchiness. Then I touch a small “bukol”. I touch it again to make sure what it is. So I was about to cry, nervous. Because the first thing come to my mind is that it is a cyst or now a tumor. I kept it secret. I did not tell anyone what I discovered and even my parents. Because of that I can’t concentrate, I can’t eat. I can’t sleep at night. Every night I was crying.  And then one night, instead of crying all day and all night, I talk to God. And it is something like this: “Lord, why this thing happen to me? I don’t want to die early. I have lots of dreams in my life that I want to achieve with my family, love ones and for you Lord. Lord I know I am not a perfect daughter, please give me chances. But if it is your plan I will accept it. I will trust you whatever would be the result. My life is for you. I will trust you Lord.” And then the next day I tell it to my parents. I am crying and I hug them both very tight. And I tell them my problem. So they also panic, that’s why they decided to bring me to the Doctor to examine or check what it is in my neck. When we reach the clinic I am crying again, but my mother told me “just to relax, we are here to check you so that it will cure you, pray to him!” My mother said.  And then after they examine. Yes! Thank God, it is not a cyst or tumor. The give me medicines to remove what it is in my neck. When we reach the house. I run to my room and talked again to God to thank him that he never leave me in this kind of situation, and I am very grateful he hear my prayers. And I have a right decision that never lose my hope, keep my faith to him. Trust him! And I can surely say that my God and my faith is more powerful than the medicines that I take, and yes it is true that we are twice armed if we fight with faith. These quotes are so wonderful and true! Our true faith is confidence in God, not in one’s self. If we put our faith in God and trust Him, he will always provide a way for us, according to His will. Our faith also shows God our love and devotion to Him. Our faith is like a light that shines when we are in dark and full of sorrow. Without faith, we human beings cannot achieve anything. With our faith it gives us strengths to fight against our problems and to have a courage to face and continue our life, serve others and serve God. So, you can achieve everything if you have faith because of our determination, hard work and courage. Keep your faith intact and work towards achieving your goal.
