faith

I am gonna refer to a guy in this post, let’s just call him….X.
Not long ago, I had a special “bond” with him but is all over now. I somehow knew deep deep deeeep inside that we wouldn’t last that long anyway, still, I didn’t expect for us to be over this soon.
Anyway, it’s not the main topic of this post. I just want to share some of his views towards faith and God.
Okay.
We have very different views towards God. He is an atheist, and I believe in God with all my heart. He said to me, “I’m sorry but I just can’t believe in God. I can pray and meditate, but I can’t believe.” He was brought up that way, since both of his parents are also atheists and they don’t give a damn about religion, or God.
Back then, he said this,” I only believe in people, I believe in my parents, my good friends, people that are close to me..”
That, for me, is completely wrong. People make mistakes, people can turn their back on you, people, can be very mean. Even those who are very dear to you.
Ironically, X has made my faith in God even stronger. Why? Exactly because what he said. “I only believe in people.” Look at what happened to me. What if I didn’t have any faith when he decided to turn his back on me? I believed in him, and he let me down. If I didn’t have God with me, I would be such a big mess right now.
Having faith in Him, lets you have faith in other people too, but with knowing that you will always have Him by your side even when the person you believe in decides to act stupid and hurt you.
What happens to people that only have faith in other people? What happens if suddenly everyone decides to turn their back against you? Who can you count on then huh?
These are the thoughts that have been flowing inside my brain this past week. They are very subjective so for those who don’t agree with me please don’t be mad, I’m just sharing my point of view.
Cheers!
