Belief is REALITY

A man is made up of different things and whatever he is, is a product of what he thinks on in his heart. There are so many ways that lead to different destinations. We follow the way we think or believe is right and that's how we begin to form our belief systems. A belief system is an organized thought pattern that a person has repeated and proven to be true to him thereby forming his realities on it.  The things we believe in is what we see as our truth.

So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...

GETAWAY!

   Have you ever being in a helpless situation where the only thing you wish for is to just forget that you are in existence? That moment you are tired of struggling and battling with an unending crisis, what else do you do?  Your finance, psychology, emotions, and every other thing connected to you are not stable. You are free of debt and in a moment you have a huge heap of debt that makes you restless or your emotions keep running from pillar to post because it's being carried by the waves of trouble, how can you find rest for your soul?

But, I have good news for you. When the tides b...
