Faith

My faith requires commitment.

 

Commitment to my God and to myself. Belief and an unwavering focus on supporting what it is I have faith in. This can be used as a noun or a pronoun. Faith is more than church, more than religion, it is a complete embodiment of the values and beliefs we each express. 

I believe people are basically good. In other words, I have faith in the goodness of people. I put this in action by trusting the intentions of others to be good. I act as if those I meet intend to do good. I can prepare and protect myself- that's part of self-sufficiency, another belief. But I can, in my interactions with others, assume innocence. 

My faith is strengthened through commitment and grows as I put it into practice. Live as you profess to believe.
