To many, the word ‘faith’ is aligned to God and the doctrine associated with religion.

This is not to be maligned, because holding faith in a deity or source of love, such as Jesus, has helped many people on Earth to come back from the brink of despair, addiction and disconnection from society. In fact, disconnection in general is the single most devastating state that a human can suffer from, leading them to feel they don’t belong, are not good enough and lost in every sense of the word.

Faith and Trust Are One

To have faith in something or someone is to hold the belief that they are true, worthy and of value. The word ‘faith’, then, is synonymous with the word ‘trust’, because if you have faith then you also trust that your faith is well founded and will be upheld. The sad fact is that, while many people put their trust and faith in God, they don’t believe in themselves and leave all major decisions up to the Will of God, rather than trusting in themselves as creators in their own right. So many people live with insecurities about themselves and fail to see that the most important person that they need to love, trust, have faith and believe in is themselves.

Self-Love and Emotional Fulfillment

Lack of self-love and belief can cause many people to look outside of themselves for validation and love. If you cannot fill your own emotional cup, then your need for love and attention is most likely to drain other peoples’ cups! When people rely on their friends and loved ones for love and support because they cannot give it to themselves it can lead to failed relationships and friendships falling away. Sadly, many people never face their own demons and find themselves socially outcast simply because they always put their needs above others.

In a way, putting your faith in Jesus or God without believing in yourself, while filling your cup for a while, is still a default setting and a smokescreen hiding your deeper insecurities. In the energy of oneness and unconditional love, there is no separation from God, the ethereal kingdom, humans and each other. This means that all humans are infinitely connected to the light of the Source of Creation and are therefore co-creators and beings of love, which is why feeling disconnection to the faith and belief in God the Creator, within or without religion, is so devastating to the soul.

Reconnect With Yourself

Do you believe in yourself? Can you honestly say you love and accept yourself? If someone were to put their faith and trust in you, would you shy away or embrace the challenge?

If you are having trouble believing in anything in your life, look no further than in your own heart. Connect to the light within and begin the work of restoring faith in yourself as a person, being of light and a soul who is loved eternally by the source of all creation.
