We are products of settings and choices we opt
in our daily lives. Our dealings with people around us, our philosophies, our
standards and our beliefs are all reflections of our foundation, the
environment we interact with and the things we see, hear, believe and those we
are involved with.
But then, what is really the essence of life and
how can we make it?
Yes, life is a gift. It is something we need to
be grateful of for it is given freely by God. Yes freely, that means, we all
have the power and responsibility to change it and make it wonderful in His
eyes. But what usually are we missing? We are missing at the point of acknowledging our
identity, our foundation. We are missing that knowing of our roots, our core, and
our source. Yes, these are the things we fail to recognize. That is why, we
become friends with complaints, anger and jealousy. And sometimes, we become more
comfortable with them. What exactly are these things? These are our dark
realities. I have them, we all have them. No one ever has been exempted from
these things. But how can we keep them stay away from us? Simple. Yes, it’s
simple to say yet very demanding and difficult to do... Do you know God? Yes,
God! The one who created you? Not all of us can directly say and claim, “Yes, I do
know Him. He is the center of my life!” Not all of us even believe in Him. But
if we do, our life would truly be a wonderful one, wonderful in His eyes. He
would be the first person to be very happy with that.
Hence, if we all know Him- our very own source,
our foundation, our deep reality, this world would be a better place to live
in. Why so? Because, if we acknowledge Him in us, we couldn’t afford to hate
and kill each other. No one would be high or low, rich or poor, famous or
outcast, intelligent or fool. All of us would be equally dignified because we
all come from one source, our God. What we say and how we say things, what we
do and how we act are all reflections of our realities within. If all of us have
Him, all of us could be His presence and a blessing to this wounded world.
