I'm talk'n religion

I was on the phone tonight and someone asked a question regarding my religion, and then backed it up by asking why I believe in one god?

I just couldn't get that one out of my mind. I often can't and as the sun slowly rises making it really morning I just can escape the truth of this question. So why do I believe?

I could talk about my experiences, I could talk about how it makes me more than I am, I could talk about morality, madness and the terrible and wonderful things I saw on the journey that made me come to the realisation that there is a god, that he is jesus christ and that he loves me, forgives me and actively provides and changes me. But the truth is although all of these facits are real it to me is about relationships.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my savior, because I know without a doubt that dna uncontrolled fades in 7 generations, that monuments become dust, and that people die but relationships, and the love that is behind them last. I know that what I do does matter, but it is today, not tommorrow, not yesterday that really matters and it is by my relationships that I am judged each and every moment of every day.

I can't take my material possessions with me when I die, I can't change the laws of nature or mess with the fundament of faith, but I can believe, leave behind joy, communion and love. To me living with jesus means that I live in his presence and have a daily and complete relationship with him, a relationship of love and honesty that means that I can be understood completely, and love the rest of humanity as well, even when I feal highly annoyed a them.

And boy do I feel peeved each night I work. But I also find that even when I am angry, tired, annoyed and the person is acting like a doufus I have patience, kindness and love still pushing inside trying to come out.

So that's why I believe, I believe because I couldn't exist as a complete person without it, and it is the communion and relationships that make me who I am.
