Peace and Love: God's Motto

How it feels being Nondenominational

Peace and Love: God's Motto

In this day and age, there are a lot of different types of people with completely different views. With all the different types of religions involved, I believe some judge a little too quickly. Even though we have many religions and many viewpoints, that does not determine who we are.

I grew up walking into many different types of Christian churches and I always felt like each one told me something different or did things differently. I did not like some things they did, but I still went for my family. This is why I could never hate some atheists that were not given a good view on religion, because I often felt like I didn't. I did not want to tell myself I did not believe in God just because I did not believe some Christian ways. I am nondenominational, because I believe in God in my own way. I feel like there is way too many different views on religion when in all honesty, I believe it is just me, my love for God, and the love God shows me each and every day.

In today's society, I feel as though it's hard to comprehend, because we are always fighting with one another, judging based on who we chose to be, and having no love. God has always only wanted love and peace. Some people who try to represent this are often the ones doing most of the damage. An example of this is people being in accepting of race.

With all this hate, I can only trust myself and God. There is too much hate in this world and not enough of appreciation in what we were given. Be different and be yourself. We should not judge religion, race, sexuality, or anyone for being themselves. The only way "Love" has been shown, is hatred. Just give peace a chance and show some love.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
