HE is someone when I have NO one

My best friend is a Baptist, I am a Catholic. Though we have different religion, but still this is not a hindrance in our friendship. We respect each other and I think that’s what made our friendship became stronger. We’re best friends for almost 8 years now.(Since 3rd year high school). And you know what, she is one of the person (of course aside from my parents) who made me realize how important God in my life and how important the salvation in our life.



She thought me more about God and salvation. Having a personal relationship with God will strengthen your faith and became a better person.

But at first, I’m not taking it seriously. I do even commit sin (as always). And one of these is cheating during our quiz (that was in high school). She always tells me that cheating is bad and it is a sin. But still, I did it. And you know what’s worse? Our subject then is values ed. This is one of the things I regret most. I even hate myself whenever I remember that.

Until one day I realized to change my bad behavior and renew my faith.(It was on my second year college then). So I decided to take it seriously.

I believe that what happened to me before has a reason. I realized my mistakes and I really ask for forgiveness. Now that I became a better Catholic, a better person and a better servants of God. All of my decisions and actions, I really lift up to God.

I love my religion. But I love God more than anything. Now, I appreciate the importance of being a Catholic. Not the typical ones that others see on us Catholic. We do also have a personal relationship with Him aside from believing in our traditions. It’s not just attending the mass. But a deeper purpose for that. A real purpose of accepting Jesus as our Savior.

And the end of the day, it's not the religion that will save us, but on how you accept Jesus as our Savior that really saves us.

And I was thankful because she became my friend. After all it's not the religion that matters, but what is important is that we have the same connection, and that is Jesus our Savior. And we really understand and respect each other. I really value our friendship.
