You can bet on it

When you and your best friend get into a disagreement about something silly or maybe even something that you are "sure" about, many times you say "I'll bet you." i get this small feeling that this has been going longer than we can imagine. in reality unless we see it for our selves it might not be a sure thing. I'm stopping and thinking right now what makes us think that some thing is a sure thing. Physical proof? and emotional state where we feel right? When it comes to belief's many of our day to day beliefs or practices are from our home life. Now having a belief is all fine and dandy but when we believe in something don't we try to support it. For me this has been a life time struggle. not necessarily the believing part but the acting. When it comes to love, i show it with open arms do i always do it at the right time...no i don't. i tell people this story and it makes them giggle....but when i was little kid if a kid fell of the monkey bars..i was the first to help him up. I've always had a heart for people both of my parents have told me this. I try to hold my friends to a high standard about being there for me not making it a one way street and it really bothers me that i can honestly say i have very few honest friends and friends that are there. but again..I'm not always there either so i again condemn myself. My relationship with god has truly had it's moments not ones where i stop believing but where i might not necessarily be where i could be. The one thing i can bet on is that he'll always be there for me...never forsake me... and knows what i need in life to keep going. so i guess what I'm challenging you or asking you to even stop and think about it for one second. What are thing things that you truly bet on? i know it's going to be different for every one. :)
