Reflection On Chastity

In every religion, there is a set of beliefs, simplicity, chastity, and service. In some religions, we have a moral obligation or duty to serve whereas in some religions things are different. It is important to understand that no one religion is the same it may be similar in certain aspects such as prayer, meditation, and fasting. But the Holy Scriptures and order of worship are different in each denomination. Simplicity is what we find in stillness, quietness; absence of noise or disturbances. Simplicity is also an inward reality that results in an outward lifestyle. The main point of the simplicity discipline is to seek the kingdom of God, and not the attachment of wealth and material things. I practiced simplicity on Tuesdays and Thursdays …show more content…
I did not just practice chastity for three weeks, this is something that I try to work on daily. Over the course of my spiritual discipline practice, I tried to learn more about other religions that way when I meet someone I will not do, or say anything that will offend them because I have respect for them as a person and their religious beliefs. Just because someone has a different religious view than I do, does not mean that we cannot love one another, be friends, and get along. I also practice chastity in regards to love for myself ‘self-love’ and respect for myself as far as my dressing attire goes. This is not only a discipline that I practiced for three weeks, but I practice this discipline every day as well.

I believe I was successful with this discipline, but with a little more work as far as love and respect for others go I hope to master it. I was also successful with love and respect for myself.

When I started practicing this discipline I began by thinking of ways that I could serve. I decided to serve outside of the house of worship. I would do a good deed for someone such as help them with groceries, donating clothes to the less fortunate and donating to charities. I believe the real reward in this is knowing that what you are doing is going to change someone’s life, but in a good way. I am still working on serving inside the house of worship. I can sing but I am shy when it comes to singing alone in front of the congregation. Whether one is religious or not I believe that we all have a duty to serve. We know the difference between right and wrong. It is not right to sit back and let someone go without a meal if you have money to spare or go without having anything to cloth themselves in when you have several clothes and you would not be missing what you are giving away. I believe that if someone needs food, clothes or just need some encouragement in regards to the things that they are going through in life we should try to be there for that person. I believe that I was successful with this discipline. I am skeptical sometimes when someone comes up to me, and ask for money to buy food because I am unsure if their real intentions are indeed to buy food for themselves. But I came to the conclusion that if I did my part as a Christian then God is still
