Why do people like me become defensive at times?
We do not have a faith in Jesus or any other invisible creature. Yet we strive to maintain a faith in life and belief in people. We wake up each day and hope that we will have the courage to bravely face another day, surviving in this mad world, while still finding the time to be kind to those we meet.
We do not do this to please Jesus or gain a reward. We do it because we are decent people. Jesus can get his brownie points elsewhere. We have no saviour to lean on. No Holy spirit to give us strength. No hope of living forever. We know only one thing; that we will die.
It takes faith to live like that and I defend that faith.
