What My Faith Means to Me
Baha'i
My faith in God is everything. It is the very life I breathe.
I would be
lost if I didn't have faith. You look around you at the violence,
death, cruelity and coruption and you ask Why?, What's the
use? Faith gives me an answer. The answer is God. God gave
and continues to give me everything. My very life, my faith,
my health, my family. He's my Succorer, my Helper, my Companion,
my Best-Beloved. Through the Baha'i Faith, I'm given the
ability
to express my feelings of hope and frustration in not being
able to live up to what I want to be. I can be of service
to my fellow Baha'is and to the world and also to learn more
about God and how to be closer to God. Through the Baha'i
Faith, with our principle of the Oneness of Mankind, I have
a connection with every person on earth. I see us all as
one
people, struggling to find our path to God. Baha'u'llah says
that we, the people of the world, are the "plants of
the orchard, the flowers of the meadows, the roses of one
garden". I saw that in my stay in China.
