What you believe is not what you say you believe but what you do

I read this challenging quote in Donald Miller's book "Blue Like Jazz".

It's true. Too many people say they believe in something but their lifestyle speaks a very different language. In this case their words are just empty phrases and do not reflect their real beliefs which are expressed in their daily actions.

An example: Many people today say that they strongly believe in the value of tolerance. Yet, they struggle with forgiving people that have caused them hurt in the past. If you truly believe in something you have to live it with your life. Otherwise your words are worthless.

How about yourself? Do you still carry unforgiveness and offence in your heart?

If so, why don't you try praying to Jesus Christ and ask for his help?

Even if you don't believe in him he might help you.
