Traveling and Seeing God

Written By Melanie Burk
Kristin and her family pose in front of a large gateway that says Rising Star Outreach of India Andrus Campus. Her family are dressed in scarves and marigold garlands.

The more I travel and witness how billions of people worship, live, and honor their religious traditions, the more I realize how beautifully normal my faith is.

It is normal to put God at the center of life, to worship in sacred spaces, to pass down traditions, and to seek divine guidance in our daily actions. It is normal to make faith a top priority and to find deep meaning in spiritual rituals and teachings.

These experiences remind me that while our paths may differ, the longing to connect with the divine is universal. God’s presence transcends borders and languages, uniting His children in love, faith, and purpose.
