Sunday Soul Sustenance: Quran

Although I am Christian, I would like my Sunday entries to be accessible to people of all faiths. And I do believe that there are elements of other religions that are compatible with Christianity. One verse I ran across, from the Quran, reads: "O my children! Behold, God has granted you the purest faith; so do not allow death to overtake you ere you have surrendered yourselves unto Him." (Al Baqara 2:132)

I always heard that growing up in Lutheran schools as well - especially in reference to the verse where Christ says we need to enter the kingdom of heaven as children. That idea of "faith like a child" is difficult to really understand, as adults who tend to lose our sense of wonder.

This week, I encourage you to look at your faith as a little child. Bring yourself back to the sense of wonder and awe at every miracle that surrounds you.
