ALL ABOUT LIFE

LIFE

by: chum

        Our LIFE is the most precious gift from God. He created us uniquely, perfectly and wonderfully. Before He created mankind, He created first everything that we need in this world so that we may not worry for anything. From the very beginning God wanted us to enjoy everything that He created because He loves us so much. He gave us the authority over all other creatures of earth. 

        God created us not to become His pawn or slaves but to become His children. He wanted us to feel how much He loves us. He wanted us to inherit everything here on earth. He gave us the will power - the power to choose on what we want to do in our life. At the same time God wanted us to love Him back, to treat Him as our Father. He wanted us to fulfill His eternal plan in our life. He wanted us to trust Him, to rely on Him, to be more dependent on Him. 

        

        In the beginning it was so perfect, everything was in order. Man need not to worry for what he will eat or for where he will sleep for God himself provided everything. Man can really talk to God personally in face to face because that time man was still blameless. How beautiful it will be to experience that certain kind of moment, just like in a paradise?

   

        But when man disobeys God, our life becomes so cruel. We need to struggle for it everyday. We need to work in order to live. We need to toil the soil in order to harvest. In other words, the moment man disobeys God, he suffered and felt the pain from wrath of God for He hates SIN. That is the reason why we are suffering today, the reason why there is sadness and darkness in our LIFE.  Without God our life is meaningless. Without God in our life there is no real happiness, everything is empty. There is no satisfaction in our heart even though we become the richest and the powerful person in this world because this world is already cursed. 

  

        Even though God hates man, He can never stops loving us so He gave His Son Jesus in order to save us from our suffering and bring us back to the arms of our Father. All we have to do is to believe in Him. If you want to feel God's love again, if you want become His children again, and if you want to feel the paradise again, be reconciled to God through His Son.

LIFE IS SO HARD

 Do you ever asked yourself why do you need to go to school?... why do you need to finish your studies? Or do you even wonder why after you got your job life is still so hard for you? Some people's lives are so miserable and do you know what is the reason? Everywhere in the world you can find more poor people than rich people. Some people could not even eat once a day. Some could not even have a place to sleep. Some don't even know what to do. Some want to end their life. That is how hard life can be to others.

          Do you ever wish once in your life that there should be equality?..no rich nor poor, no weak nor strong, no dumb nor wise? But truth is there are so many oppressed people. This world is so cruel. How many people died everyday because of accident?disaster or calamities?..tragedy? murder? This world is not safe even if you are the richest and the wisest person. You can die at any moment no matter how hard you try. So why do we need to live a hard life if in the end we will just die and leave everything that we accomplish here on earth? No one will ever escape death even the brightest scientist in the world. 

          Life is so hard no matter what. Sometimes you will be facing challenges which is beyond your control. Something like a very tall wall in front of you and you can't do anything in order to pass through the other side. Sometimes the storm in your life is so strong that could even destroy  your foundation. Sometimes the waves is so big that could even drown your ship. Sometimes you ended up in the middle of the forest and the hungry beast are ready to devour you.

         Life is so hard because this place is not for us. Life is so hard because we tried to control it in our own. Life is so hard because we don't serve our purpose. Imagine using a car traveling in the ocean, do you think you can reach to your destination? No, because car cannot travel in the ocean. In the same way, our life has its own purpose and unless you  will not serve it's purpose, life would be so hard for you no matter how hard you try. If you want to know the purpose in your life, ask your Creator because He knows more than you do. If you know your purpose you can live the life to the fullest.
