A DATE WITH LIFE

We have all at some point of our life looked back and some of us look ahead and analyse if we have lived a worthwhile life and see if we will be living one in the future. What is this life ? A breathe given by God, a heart beating, mind racing, an invisible soul inside our body. Life “the existence of an individual human being”! Existence, so basically once you are dead the existence vanishes and you dont exist anymore. What if you are living a life worth not existing at all? what if people around you have made statements which actually meant that? What if you, in your opinion itself felt that. Many a times I have felt that, what are we living for in this world?

Is it to have a great story to tell God when we reach the gates of heaven.
Many a Christians have that as a sole ambition in life, to go to heaven. What is this heaven ? Have anyone on earth ever been there before? Life is every breathe you take, every minute you spend, every step you take, every word you speak, every thought you think, every deed you do.
Your Life defines every bit of you.
The best you can do to make it all count is to give back every minute, every second to the creator. Now I am not saying, dedicate every second of your life to God and his ministry and work, what I am saying is dedicate every bit of your life, to making it better, bring change within you, make a change in other’s life, learn and also teach when need be, laugh and cry, enjoy the nature, take time to spend time with the creations of God, spare time to analyse your thoughts – cause they are the most dangerous part of your life, spare time for understanding your parents and loving them just the way they are, spare time enjoying the smallest things that happen in your home and around your home, it might just be your child’s cry and actions or a plant growing 1mm taller enjoy it, these are things that make you a better natured person.
Dont always run in your life, stop pause walk and sometimes even Crawl cause what you see when you crawl you might never notice when you are Running.
When you have everything and still you wish to run so fast in your life leaving behind your family and loved one’s get back and think is this worth it, can you let go and stop and enjoy the precious moments you might never get while you are busy Running. At the very same time, dont be satisfied with doing nothing in your life, dont be satisfied when you can use both your hands and legs and eyes and ears. Listen to your heart and live every minute worthwhile. Live a minute or two everyday for your Parents, live another minute or two just by giving that extra massage for your spouse’s legs, live another minute or two to stop and listen to your children, live another minute or two for your friends caring and asking them how they are, live another minute or two just stopping and looking at all the blessings you received through the day over the disadvantages you think you have.
So many things you learn from others in your life, try and stop putting your ego and thoughts and desires ahead in your head and listen!
Enjoy the care that people show in the discipline that they bring in your life.
Enjoy the road blocks in your life and solve the puzzle with a smile rather than frown and get frustrated. How long do you think you will live, 90 max 100 why worry? We worry cause we have life in front growing big, our children, their life which revolves around education and food and shelter. Is God watching ? If so why are millions homeless? Can we take that as life lessons? All i can say is worry doesn’t get you anywhere, planning might get you somewhere, if your plan matches with God’s plan that is!
Best idea, “Do the best you think you can today for your family, if it means preparing a meal and laying it up on the table, do that, if it means heading towards office and doing a good job, do that, if it means resting and taking time off to get your health right do that :)!
Coming to the phrase “You are my Life”, “God is my life” that many people keep making, I really want to ask them, “REALLY????” If God is your life, you should be living every second in your life to please Him and walk in his ways, when i say every SECOND, dont ignore it! Read it again and Again, it really MEANS every SECOND, even if you lie for a second, it is not a life for God, even if you worry and get thought of mistrust about your life, it is not a life of God, even if you can straighten up your ego and it comes up now and then, it is not a life of God, even if you are faking humbleness behind your selfish ambition, it is not a life of God.
Christian life is living the way God wants us to live, our every breathe, our every step should reflect it.
Our love for others, our non judgmental nature, our sacrificial life, our service towards mankind and this world, our thoughts about our life, our teaching towards our children, our attitude towards our parents, our attitude towards our children, everything should reflect God and his plan in our life. People who are running in life, take a break, have a date with your life!
Enjoy every conversation every bite of the meal !
People who are layback and relaxed, get up have a marathon with your life,
see how much you can do for other’s around you, try and see how many S-MILES you can bring in people’s face
