Faith Matters
"Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen."
Hebrews 11:1 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Faith, Wellbeing and Compassionate, Connected Communities
To live fully alive, it is imperative we are compassionately connected to all aspects of ourselves - body, mind, heart, soul and spirit.
Spirituality is the journey to connection with ourselves, others and something greater than ourselves. It is expressed through our beliefs, values, practices and traditions. It brings meaning to our lives, a sense of purpose, self, and belonging. This awareness of the Sacred empowers hopefulness, gratitude, appreciation of beauty, contentedness, inner peace, feeling energised, connectedness to community, and improved health and well-being.
Just as Spirituality is a journey, Faith is our map. Faith is vital to our connection to the sacred – to what is beyond ourselves. Faith shows the way to hope, purpose, and inner resourcefulness allowing us to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience, especially during difficult times. Faith inspires positive actions and strengthens a sense of stability and meaning in life, even when facing uncertainties. This Faith map offers us support, comfort, vision, understanding and consistent motivation for doing good.
For Christians, our Faith is in God who is revealed in the Bible: and this Faith leads to God's free gift of salvation, so we can know Him, receive His love and be with Him for eternity:
"For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the love gift from God that brought us to Christ! So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving." Ephesians 2:8-9 TPT

Lorraine's Story:
"My life's journey is a journey of Spirituality towards connection - with myself, my family, others and the Sacred. The older I get, the more I am willing and able to embrace Mystery and be content with not having all the answers. For me, as a Christian, my Faith is in the ever-loving, all-powerful creator God of the Bible, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. It is in the Bible we learn by revelation of who God is, of who God is for us and who we truly are as His children. My Faith in God is my map to fulfilling my purpose and being who I am and whose I am - completely loved by Him and empowered by His grace to receive His love in order to love Him, myself and others well."
