Have you ever sat down to think about the things you've done and the outcome that follows suit? You know that thing or something you just believed you can do, had a conversation with your creator, and watched it happen. That's faith. Even when you know it may sound ridiculous, you didn't let that thought overthrow the deep one in your soul because you truly believe there's a way.
Certain things have occurred in my life at the spiritual level, and that is because of my religious practices. I believe in peace because my religion doesn't just preach it, but it is peaceful. The Almighty, the maker of all things, made everything beautiful. Some things like nature. Just walking around parks, strolling through the neighborhood at times, the air that fills my lungs takes all my worries away. It is like at that moment just listening to the chirping of birds in the sky with the greenery that surrounds me is enough to make my day. They satisfy me spiritually and emotionally and relieve the ache I feel physically.
My spiritual life made it easy to embrace minimalism without even having a second thought about it. I know I am blessed to be able to see these things that may seem little to some others and appreciate them. How something natural can just bring a sense of gratitude in me because I know from whom they come from. I know who created those things that give me pleasure. Those simple things make me want to wake up each morning because of the love they filled my heart and mind with.
My outlook on deeper things are tied to my minimalistic lifestyle because they've been right by my side since I was little. As I grew up, I got to know myself without anyone telling me how those simple things have saved me. The natural creation by God and the knowledge he has given to men. How powerful God's words are and how just reading those words has sparked something warm in me, my spiritual self, and how that has made me believe. How it has made me appreciate little things. Made me see not just the gift, but something deeper(like the person's thought) on why it is given to me.
Just like waking up each day. It is a present that is made to be appreciated each time we wake up to see a new day. Firstly, I appreciate my creator for the beauty he has bestowed on me, and appreciating Him means connecting with Him on a spiritual level. The things that are seen are the things that surround me. A roof over my head, being able to stand upright and begin the day's work. Being able to breathe in fresh air, good health, communicate with my loved ones and be able to work and find a way to provide for the day.
Give thanks to Allah
These things aren't little to me. They are significant things that make my day. Yes, they are simple but fulfilling. They are made for me. A present worth appreciating every day.
That's why I can't go a day without thanking Him with songs that fill my heart each day because He lives in me, and with Him, I have found peace. Here's a song I can barely go a day without listening to titled; "The Blessing."

STOPThe things that make profound impact on our live are things that others call simple or view as little. Appreciating God for any and every blessing is a sure way to stay connected to our Creator who is the Source of all blessings.

Your wonderful heart is supported by equally beautiful values. It was lovely to read about the joy you find in the gifts the creator has bestowed on us. Nature, health, love, kindness, what else do we need in life? 💗🤗
Thank you 😊. Hehe, yeah. What else do we need. Thanks for stopping by, Grin.
I am still shocked that despite religions preaching peace some people don't want to be source of those peace they keep preaching hatred. sometimes its individual greed that causes that. I have many friends who belongs to your religion and they imbibe the attribute of peace.
Thanks for spending your time craft this inspiring content.
Yeah, it is sometimes that. That's nice, and thanks for stopping by. Sorry for the late reply.
What nice words you use in your post. Believing in a creator gives us hope and faith. Definitely talking to him and seeing how things are happening increases faith. That also influences a minimalist lifestyle. I agree with you very much. Happy weekend 💟
Thank you, and that's s very right. Talking to Him increases our faith. Sorry for the late reply.
