Belief in a higher power has been linked to decreased stress
levels, lower rates of cancer and heart disease, and a stronger immune system.
These are the advantages for the body, but it’s a much greater advantage for
the spirit. A belief in God gives us something to hold on to; it gives us
something to work for.
When you’re one of God’s children, you’re not alone. You’re
not an individual. You’re a part of something greater. By yourself, you might
just be a chip off the block, but you’re an important chip in a mosaic that
tells a grander story. Each one of us is unique, just as no two piece of a
puzzle are the same, but like the pieces of a puzzle we each have a place where
we belong, a gap that we were meant to fill. We are not all different because
we are all random accidents, born to create more random accidents and die, we
are different because we were made different, because we “are God’s
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do.” (Ephesians
2:10)
