Coming to Terms with My Religion IV

What is the Purpose of Religion?

What Would Jesus Do?

Do you all remember when this saying was everywhere, on wrist bands, shirts and signs.

I have struggled with my Faith and lost much respect for certain religions, the ones I know about are extremely judgemental, want power and control, and teaches death and damnation in eternal fires of Hell.

At one of the worst times in my life, my eyes were open and my heart softened by what I viewed.

There under the bridge in the worst part of the city, Ministries would come to feed, clothe and sing songs that would uplift the soul and give hope to many that has lost all faith.  The people society has thrown away, and shuns itself from.

 They would pray with people in such a sincere and kind manner, I admired their humanity and they remembered and still embraced the basic reason for religion.

Which I truly believe is about caring for our fellow man, and the blessing of serving others  that creates people that are humble, strong, and so real.

So I guess if this is what Jesus would do, and I believe he did, then I too want to buy a band that states “What Would Jesus Do” and wear it with the memories that I received on this day.
