Hello Ladies of Community, this is my entry to the number 1 questions on this weeks contest From whatever faith — Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, Wiccan, or other — how did it become your faith? What delights, insights, and joys have you discovered?
I am a Christian by faith and believe, was born into a Christian background and right from my accountability age I began to learn the teachings of the Bible through my parents. Who I am today is as a result of how I was groomed and that is why I always relate to my childhood experiences.
My faith and believe in God strengthens everyday, I know I am not all a perfect Christian, the race isn’t an easy one but I try to find my path back in track whenever I feel I am off the track. I remember vividly while as a child how my mom would wake I and my siblings for morning devotion and gather the whole family in the living-room for a little exaltation. She never missed a day apart from Sunday when we’ll all assemble in the church. We did this for a very long time that I can remember, till we began to wake up ourselves in due time to pray.
Those times as kids it all seems like a punishment to us, starving us from sleep. But now I realize that she was actually training us and preparing us for life ahead.

"Prayer is the key" and I so much delight myself in these words, I believe so much in miracles and prayers along side with having faith in God brings miracles.
Philippians 4:6
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

This is my favorite verse, I derive so much joy in this Bible verse and it has kept me moving.
One thing that I realized is, no matter the nature of our believe we still call one name which is GOD, it could be different words/names but still mean God.
I’ll be inviting @joydukeson to join in this contest:-)
Oh well, I would say that there is a spiritual being everyone believes created us all. And just like you said, every name still means God.
A lot of us grew up in religious homes. And that credit goes to our parents.
Thanks for the invite. Will sure do justice to the topic
Thank you 😊 looking forward to reading yours.

Thank you
Thank you
It is so much easier to worship out of love than that of ritual alone. I didn't realize that when I was young but through sober thought as an adult. My parents were not Christian but it felt I needed God anyways. And the Bible is where I found him, it was simple as that, most of my church friends are led by Christian parents, I am exception to that apparently, the chosen as so to speak.
Thanks for sharing your faith @asherrobert and God Bless you richly.
It’s so good to hear that you found your path yourself.
And one thing I understood is that Salvation is a personal thing, it’s just left for us to play our role on earth as a good Christian.
Thank you @kerrislravenhill
