NOTE

Internalizing Faith Over External Display

There exists a temptation to externalize faith in ways that distract from the essential internal work required for true belief. While expressing faith through visible means, such as body art or religious symbols, can signify personal conviction, it can also serve as a superficial substitute for deeper self-reflection and commitment. Effective faith practices involve a balance of external expression and internal appropriation, encouraging authentic connection with one's beliefs. The imagery of clothing oneself in devotion, reminiscent of religious habits, symbolizes a total surrender to the guiding qualities of faith, akin to a child’s trust in a mother’s love. This relationship offers comfort and a sense of belonging, emphasizing the importance of internalizing faith rather than solely showcasing it.
