14 God’s way is the perfect way, although genuine faith does not shield us from grief, pain or sacrifice. The consolation is that God helps us to cope with all our sacrifices during our life on earth. When you give your heart to God, you are never alone. God is with you wherever you go or whatever you do. God provides a Guardian Angel to be with you and guide you from birth until death. Angels are awake all the time; they do not need sleep, they are invisible, but very active in protecting you! Genuine faith, regardless of religion, gives you a secure feeling, knowing that the Holy Family cares for you and inspires you to be happy and compassionate - it is a joyous, silent relationship. When you are praying, it is like talking to your trustworthy parents, knowing that, if you are having problems, you will get instant help. God listens to everyone of any age - you do not need to rehearse your request or worry about your grammar. However, you must be sincere, and not let down God with your promises. Trust God and obey His Doctrine! During a lifetime, I believe that God will not accept an ‘on and off’ relationship. Therefore, it is up to each one of us to decide between our Creator who cares for us, or Satan, who is full of false promises, and hates all faithful people. God is waiting for sinners to repent and ask for forgiveness. God will forgive at any stage of life. However, do not wait until the end of your time on earth to turn to Him. Respect and value are two very important and meaningful words. First of all, we should respect God, our Creator, and value all the things which God has provided for us in life. We should then respect and value ourselves, our family, relatives and friends, and all of humanity, regardless of religious status or nationality.
