Wear Faith Differently

"If you went to your closet today, would you pull out the same outfit you wore ten or fifteen years ago? You wear feelings and faith differently as well." - Amy Grant, singer/songwriter, musician, and author

My faith is definitely not the same as it was ten or fifteen years ago. I have gone through many struggles and I have been blessed as a result. My faith has grown as I've walked through these challenges and my feelings about many things have changed as a result of my life experiences.

I was just having this conversation with someone yesterday. I used to think I had all the answers when I was younger. As I've matured I've come to realize that many times I don't have all of the facts so it isn't fair for me to judge a situation or a person without all of the details. If I haven't experienced something, how can I possibly know how I would conduct myself?

I don't have as many strong opinions as I used to have. I tend to see both sides of an argument these days instead of standing firm on one side or the other. Today I am wearing my feelings and my faith differently and that's a good thing for me. My faith is deep and strong, my feelings are more compassionate than ever before, and I am happier than I've been in many years. I'm sure these are all tied together. I don't think I want to change this metamorphosis that is happening for me. I am truly grateful for this change and I'm looking forward to more changes and growth. I am grateful.
