Religion has never been an issue to me. I think God is not that cruel that he will not save you if you are in the wrong religion duh. As long as we have faith then God will continue to watch us. We need religion so that we can be guided. So it's important to choose a religion that will fit our needs. Some are solemn yet some are lively, some are technical while some are casual, but in the end they will all claim, that they are worshipping the same God. I was born an INC, but I think im already in the right age to at least try some other forms of worship. I graduated at a prestigious Catholic school, so am very much aware what Catholism is. What I am curious about are the Born Again's. I have some knowledge of what they actually do. But more or less, Born Again's form of worship is known for being lively and catchy. My friend Rochy is a Born Again Christian. Out of my curiosty I tried to ask her a few questions, and I do plan to attend some of their services. Yesterday I joined their fellowship activity, the purpose of which is to create a harmony between churches. I was so astonished of how these people have such a positive outlook in life, just what I think everyone of us needs. I looked at everyone's eyes, and all I saw was radiance, illuminating all the dark shadows of every people in there, and that includes me. For the first time in my life, my soul felt alive. Their songs were all wonderful, the tunes and specially the lyrics. Of course I didn't know the tune but my heart was singing and my body just wanna let it all come out! I love concerts coz I love to jam, and it was just like a concert but it was for God. Maybe that's why they called it Born Again, because many have converted and somehow they feel like their souls were being born again. I still need to hear their teachings because that's important too. But I had so much fun!! I feel so blessed after the activity, and its true.
Aside from having fun, I also met a lot of people. There are 3 churches all in all, but the Reach Community Fellowship is where Rochy is included. They are not that big in numbers, in fact there are only about 30-40 members. So they are much like a family whenever they have worship services. Oh and they called themselves "The Acceptors"! What a coincidence for me, because that is my motto in life, "Learn to Accept, and everything will be easy." This is my personal motto, I made it base on my experiences. I think that it is true in every aspect of life. Whenever I have troubles, I learned to accept first the event, and with that I can think of a solution without any worries or move on with my life with determination. I also learned to accept people for what they are. And of course I learned to acccept my own weaknesses, which gives me much room for improvements. The word acceptance itself has other meanings. To accept sometimes is to say "yes", to "receive", worst is to "let go". People tends to "reject" than to "accept". Because when we accept and "receive" something, we need to forego something of "equal value". And that is life my friend, but we only need to accept one thing in this world, and that is no other than God.
