How Different Would The Day Be?

I was just thinking today that a simple day could be so different without the love of God in it, and without faith. 

I woke up yesterdayfeeling sick again with a cold. My nose has been running constantly for almost 2 days now and I find it rather annoying... but what does that have to do with the love of God and faith. Many people would wake up and feel horrible and depressed and would find myself closed up and in the dark. Instead, I have gone about my day at home as usual, and have been positive. I know that the illness will pass and I can pray that it goes away quickly and trust that God will do that for me. There is no need to feel down or depressed about something so silly. 

There was also a moment where my friend was having a bad day and was feeling stressed out. With my faith, I was able to respond positively and again told her I was able to pray and believe that everything would all work out. Without faith, I probably would have just acknowledged her feelings but would not have been able to offer anything to help her out. 

It makes me think about how many other moments we come across in our every day lives that would be different without God. The way we respond to questions, the way we show love, the things we watch and listen to, all this can be influenced by our faith. Life for me now is so much different to how it was 5 years ago before I became Christian.

I love the stuff. It smells good and makes me feel better. It also helps to clear my nose and throat, especially when I am unwell!
