Got Tao?
Build a intimate relationship with God...
Begin with a single step
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - the most famous quote from Lao Tzu, the Chinese philosopher, in the 6th century BC.
Our life seems filled with excitement just like riding in the roller-coaster. There are sweet times as well as the sour moments. Very often, we are asked: "Do we have faith?" Faith is not just knowing the existence of God, but to understand we exist because the existence of God.
We will eventually take on the divine journey to seek God. Having a faith is just a first step.
Now it’s time to start our Tao (journey). Our Tao will not be easy, but our inner nature will provide us strength to press on daily and overcome any situation.
We might have to take a few gas stops, we might get a flat tire here and there, we might go through a few thunderstorms, but through all our experiences, fruits are being grown. We are becoming stronger, and our faith and reliance in Tao is growing. Our inner nature will diminish bad habits and karma from our life.
There are few things we must do to guide us and continue on the journey. The 3 divine treasures we received during the Blessing Ceremony are the tools to build a intimate relationship with God. We can use the 3 divine treasures to connect to God for help, peace, and ask for comfort in times of trouble. Utilizing the 3 treasures in our daily life, allow us to continue the journey and to glorify God.
