DISCUSSION
We have so much to give, thanks to the Lord, for He created a dome which He called “Sky” which separated the water under it from the water above it. He put trees and plants on the land, water that is rich in living creatures, birds, sea creatures, cattles, beasts, and creeping animals. He made man according to His image to rule over every living thing.

Faith is being sure that what you hope for will come true. This can be made possible because of the strength of your belief and trust in God. God, in His utmost love for all of us, sent His only Son to live and die for us on the cross in order to save us. God summed up His Ten Commandments into two, with love as the central theme.
Love God with all your heart and might and love your neighbor as you love yourself.
This love strengthens our faith in God. It enables us to believe, trust, surrender, and obey Him. As our love for
God grows, our faith grows, too. We are inspired to go about doing our daily activities, knowing that God is on our
side guiding, protecting, and watching over us. Such is the majesty of God for He will do great wonders if we only
stay in His love. Respecting and considering the welfare of our neighbor will no longer become an agonizing problem for us.
Our capacity to pray with others for the good of everybody will come naturally for us because of the love which consumes us. Finally, the help and the care that we extend to our neighbor becomes a reality for us because of God’s love.
If we believe in God, . God never intended us to view the things in the mountain where
things are peaceful and beautiful. God intended to place us in the valley instead, where all the attractions and distractions of life are present.
We will continue to sin and even experience suffering because of our human nature. God never told us that this is
going to be easy. The key is to obey and love God without conditions and surrender everything to His loving
kindness. This will put our trust in the Lord and lean not on our understanding and on our own strength. Continue
trusting because God will make our paths straight, forgive our sins, and make our sufferings bearable. We will live our faith in God because from faith comes hope. And hope is a compelling force to keep us moving on in spite of
insurmountable odds knowing that at the end of the tunnel there will always be light. We keep moving on.
Remember:
God taught us to love and care for our neighbors. We should be willing to lend a helping hand especially to the needy. It is not enough to give words of sympathy. Action is what the Lord wants from us.
