Our life is a sacred call from the Almighty to grow in grace,live in love and rest in peace.Our heartfelt happiness,good words and kind gestures can inspire people to bounce out of depression.They can brighten up our fellow-beings in getting healed of their mental wounds.
This short span of life is given to us as a gift.It is our individual responsibility to make it better not bitter.We may have to encounter many bitter experiences of life to finally reach those finest blessings of life.Then we are becoming with a refined spirit to be really grateful for this very gift of life!
Only the grace of the Almighty can transcend all the pros and cons of this life.If we grow in grace,we won't become proud in our positives and desperate in our negatives,but keep up a harmonious balance of life.Grace will transform us from evil to good,good to better,better to best.None of us is perfect. In this life,we are supposed to be in a progressive process.It is the grace that moves us towards perfection.We are so caught up in the law that we don't allow us to grow in grace.
Real love is the moving spirit of this world.Real love can come only from the Creator to our heart and from our heart it should be reflected to others.It is a flow.No one can stop this flow except by our free will.Real love never demands.It won't even expect love in return rather be content in the growth of love in one's heart to live in love with God,oneself and others.Such love cannot harm others or being harmed by others.It is the love for love's own sake.
We are placed in this world with the sole mission of being peacemakers.If we are not becoming peacemakers,there is no other option but to become troublemakers.If we rest in peace,we will be peacemakers and problem solvers.In order to rest in peace,one needs to yield to "The Prince of Peace":The Spirit of the Lord within.The world cannot give or take away such a peace.It is the peace that overtakes all understanding.
A sacred call is always whispering in the innermost part of our heart.Many a time we are not heeding to this inner voice because of many other voices we are in.Let us tune our spirit in harmony with this inner voice to discern with other voices.While other voices bring superficial changes,this inner voice brings real change! In that real change,our problems will be turned to schemes,trials will make us strong,sorrows will keep us human thus materialism finding solace in spirituality!
