Dear Waltz,

It only says that you are on a Journey . . .

remember that saying? meaning lies not with the destination but in the journey . . .

you'll find what you believe if you examine, search, question . . .

if you are not sure, then you are searching and that is good . .. that is how we all find out . ..
what we believe

in short, i think it says that you are a human being . . . :D

I guess this was an old post, but a very interesting one I want to contribute to.

My basic belief that helps me to survive in the world.  I'm accepted by God who never leaves nor forsakes me.  There is a verse that says "even though a mother forsake her suckling child, I will not forsake you and I will take you up"  (loose translation)

I find it encouraging that God loves me and receives me no matter what, and that I have others in my life that do as well.

Sheela:
Dear Really,

Your post was very inspiring . . .how we are all, in the final analysis are accepted, forgiven and cherished by God . . .
It is a special blessing for me to have faith and to sustain it . . .
It is the difference between light and dark, goodness and evil , hope and despair to me!

If God is willing to extend this kind of acceptance,  we should feel good about practicing it on ourselves . . .

it is an amazing thing to stand in front of a mirror and say . . . "I unconditionally accept myself!"
ten times a day  . . .it helps me accept my flaws and learn to see the advantqage of having them.

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!

Another one of my basic beliefs is that forgiving people (not meaning accepting poor behaviour) is for my best benefit/in my best interest.  The reason is because otherwise I harbor nasty feelings that don't do me any good and actually drag me down, keep me in a negative state too long and eat away at my insides.  I prefer to release those feelings and forgive people, even without explanation, apology, remorse, or attempts at amends (although those things....when they are offered.....certainly make it easier for me to forgive, if I believe the person is sincere).
