It’s a bright Sunday morning and I have been listening to all my favourite soundtracks since last night and I have been thinking several things and now that I’m here with this journal, my thoughts are all set to express.
So I was just thinking how could I help people; how could I reach someone; that someone who might be alone or who might have lost a loved one to death or separation; to someone who is having financial problem…when debts are high and earnings are low…to someone who works hard for his living and progress seems to be slow…to someone who has got problems involving themselves.
Basically what I’ve figured out is that we are always in one of these three possible states- we are either going into a storm, in a storm or coming out of a storm. I believe God uses these three states of life to teach us few things about ourselves.
When we enter a storm or rather when a storm enters our life the winds of change starts to blow and the skies get cloudy and grey just like the sense of worry sets in when we realise that we really don’t have any control. We are filled with an evil helplessness as we fight with our own selves. We try to fight for our happiness in the most sorrowful realities…the fight which seems nothing more than a vain attempt as life throws us unforeseen events we cannot plan for.
And when we are in a storm when the wind is blowing and the rain mixed with evil lightening represents those times…the times of deepest loses, our greatest needs, and our vulnerability and weakness is exposed through all the pains and suffering. It is during these storms when we need or remember God… these times of high tribulations when we discover a need for higher power and provide for us help us out or even expect a miracle.
When I have gone through such a storm in my life I have decided that life is worth fighting for… I have realised that I am a child of God and, therefore, worthy of all that is already mine by the rights of divinity.
I have realised that I wasn’t born for sorrow. I have realised that I wasn’t born to be a doormat for others to wipe their feet on. I wasn’t born to infect my own body with toxicity that’s going to take me outside myself.
I wasn’t to be used and then buried… I wasn’t born for any of that. But I was born to glorify God and live a happy and abundant life… and if I am not living that way, it is simply because at some point of time I fell down. But I didn’t consider it my failure because failure isn’t when you fall down; its when you when you don’t stand up again… I believe God has a purpose for me and that I am born to live and that is a life of purpose- a life of happiness and abundance.
So now I guess I’ve reached that someone through these thoughts
And if you have, in any point of your life, experienced to be in storm remember…
This is your time….the time of your life…know that you are both the creator and the created… you are already what you are trying to be… you are life experiencing itselef!!
