"Religion believes unreservedly in the existence and reality of a God who fosters personality survival." 101:2.7 (1106.6)
Religion is not merely a set of beliefs or a collection of sacred customs—it is a living trust in a God who knows you personally and values you eternally. To believe unreservedly in such a God is to acknowledge that your life is not an accident of nature but a purposeful creation, sustained by divine love. This is a God who fosters not only your growth in this life but your survival beyond it—a God who treasures the soul and wills that it endure.
Such faith changes how we walk through the world. It transforms fear into hope, uncertainty into trust, and despair into a forward-looking courage. When you know that the God of creation has a plan for your eternal destiny, the troubles of today lose their power to define you. Your worth is no longer measured by fleeting successes or temporary failures, but by the unchanging truth that you are a beloved child of God.
This conviction invites us to live differently—more generously, more courageously, and more joyfully. It urges us to hold onto what matters eternally and release what does not. When the reality of God’s sustaining presence becomes the foundation of our lives, we begin to live not merely for time, but for eternity.
Live today with the assurance that your existence is eternally valued. Let that certainty shape your choices, your relationships, and your courage.
