What we put into our religion does not always happen at church or in prayer. It also happens in our thoughts, words and deeds and in every moment of our being. They way we treat a stranger or the one we love the most, the way we feel when someone hurts us and even how we think are all part of what we put into our religion. So, today let us be mindful of everything we do, think or say and ask ourselves, “is this bringing me closer to God?”
Staying close,

TAKE STOCK OF YOUR RELIGION
What has your religion done for you? For years probably, you have been attending church, reading spiritual books, studying the Bible. Now I suggest that you have a spiritual stocktaking. Ask yourself what difference religion has made in your life, in your home, in your affairs. How much peace of mind has it given you? How much courage? How much understanding? How much opportunity for service? For, make no mistake, real religion does give all these things.
If your spiritual stocktaking does not turn out to be satisfactory, I believe that you will find the explanation to lie in the following law: What you put into your religion, that you get out of it.
If you put in 5 percent of yourself, you will receive a 5 percent dividend or demonstration. If you put in 20 percent of yourself, you will receive a 20 percent demonstration. Complete returns call for a 100 percent investment.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might… (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
