Before you read this, please read the entry below so you know what I am up to here.
Ok, started my research on fasting. Here were some really beautiful points that I read:
--Fasting is the one thing that we can do that is for God alone. And He recognizes that.
Fasting helps the faithful to:
--learn sincere Love because the person fasting does it out of a deep love for God. And the man who loves God truly is a man who really knows what love is.
--develop hope and an optomistc outlook on life because the purpose of fasting is to please God and to seek His grace in one's life
--show the genuine virtue of complete devotion to God because the fast is for God alone.
--develop true inner strength and a sound conscience because the person fasts in private and does not have anyone making him/her stay on the fast. It is completely up to that individual.
--strengthen their patience and selflessness because the fasting person endures the pains of deprivation patiently
--develop a transparent soul, clear mind and light body. The results of fasting can be truly life-changing!
Now tell me what faith believes that the above are true.
