WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR RELIGION


When you lose your religion,

You lose a piece of yourself,

The deeper part of you dies,

An empty void is left,

An empty hole.


When you lose your religion,

You lose your identity,

Your connection to something greater,

Is erased,

All that is left,

Is a wandering soul.


When you lose your religion,

You lose your inner voice,

Your heart becomes silent,

You stray from the path of reason,

It's end is a corrupted destiny.


When you lose your religion,

You alter your course of life,

You shut yourself from the better part of you,

You become mediocre,

And live a life you don't deserve to.


The truth is,

One of the greatest tragedies in life,

Is losing your religion,

The one thing you believe in,

For in losing your religion,

You lose your very soul.

I love the passion with which you've written this piece I saw glimpses of your heart between these lines!

Personally, I think - when you loose your religion - those laws and rituals that tell you "do this and you'll find God" - then you find yourself and find God!! I beleive that our Religions cannot save us - it is Christ who saves!! When you loose faith in Christ - I beleive - then you have lost all you've written and said one looses. But when you loose your religion, you've just LOST YOUR RELIGION!!

The Bible says, "for it is by grace that we are saved, not because of the good things we do, or because we follow the law [religion], but by GRACE thru faith in Christ!" {read Galatians}

I love you. And I LOVE your poetic eloquence!!!
