Spirituality is often known as a property or income owned by the church. In fact, it is defined as "Something, such as property or revenue, that belongs to the church or to a cleric." in the dictionary. Churches were never supposed to be the ONLY ground of spirituality. Churches are linked to spirituality but that does not mean that churches are spirituality itself. Spirituality, to me, is the will to serve; serve God and His people. The word of God I feel has emphasized on this point over and over again; :love thy neighbor, keep your enemies close, even when Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. The humbleness to serve is the key to spirituality. When a man is willing to care for another, despite worldly possessions and living status, he has ultimately learned to respect another human being. The humility to serve will ultimately teach a person the meaning of respect, to accept people as they are, to be non judgemental; instead of judging a person by his/her looks. Humility does not mean to have a low self-esteem but on the contrary, to have the maturity and the rationality and most of all the simplicity to put spirituality ahead of all worldly possessions. Spirituality is not ruled by the church, it is to be encouraged by the church. To put it in simplest words, spirituality is, to me, communication with God. God's presence extends further than just the church and can be enjoyed anywhere we stand. Spirituality teaches even the toughest ruffian the meaning of simplicity, humility, appreciation, respect, communication, and most of all, it teaches people to love. Before God we are all equally wise and equally foolish.
