THE REAL LIFE

Life is not meant just to be lived for ourselves. It has two main and critical dimensions which we need to understand – Relationship with God and relationship with our fellow beings. The world we live in darkens our perceptions about life because it is broken, sinful, full of strife and problems. We are on one hand bogged and crippled by the difficulties and pressures that surround us and on the other we are pulled by our desires and often fall prey to our own pleasures and gratification. Both these factors blind us and we are lost. We all want harmony, goodness, justice and peace. However, many a times we are unable to step out. But the fact remains that real and meaningful life is enjoyed by those who live for God, and for goodness. Loving Him, they can love others; serving Him, they can serve others; knowing and trusting Him, they can understand and trust others. Unconditional, honest and pure love and service flows from such people. Jesus said – Love God and love your neighbour, for this is the summary of the Law and the Prophets. We all say that we believe in God but that’s not enough. Belief should transform into action. Once our belief in God and his principles takes on a new and deeper dimension, our life will change for good. Once God rules over our intentions and actions, then we will be transformed to be his agents in this broken and hurting world. We can find ourselves once we find God.
