Dear All,
Our world is the beautiful manifestation of God’s
love to us
This world is a
troubled place. It has always been so. It has been torn apart by the evil
forces of selfishness, pride, greed, power and materialism. It is a place where
God has been forgotten, and our true nature has been forgotten. It is a place
of competition and conflict, where we constantly solve the problems of our
daily existence. It is a place where people seem foreign to one another, and
foreign to themselves. It is wonderful but dangerous, beautiful but confusing. Still, there is a ray of hope among the dark clouds of despair and
disappointment and that is God’s love, and that’s why we have come to the world.
Everyone has been
sent in this world, for a purpose. This purpose remains undiscovered, but we
must find it, for that is the great pursuit in life. Beyond meeting our basic
requirements to exist in this reality, we must find this purpose, for this is
how God speaks to us, and this is how we will find our way in this confusing
world.
God speaks to the
world through a deeper Knowledge within the individual and through the power of
our relationship with the universe. God’s love transcends the understanding of the people. We have to have a greater perspective in life and be
much higher to see the revelation of God’s love and importance of our birth on
this earth. ‘God designed human beings to reflect His very
character—to be like Him. In the day that God created man, He made him in the
likeness of Himself..., God created man in His own image having supreme power of
loving, giving and forgiving’. “We love Him because He first loved us,”
explains the apostle John in the Bible. God loved us and sent his Son on the
earth. Clearly, it was God’s desire and plan to establish a relationship between
human beings and Himself.
Our world is the
beautiful manifestation of God’s love to us. When a flower blooms, the river
flows or a bird sings, we must realise and experience that every entity of this
universe loves us. Today if man is suffering in isolation, loneliness and
depravity, it is because we fail to experience this manifestation of love in
our lives. If we want to experience the bounties of love, we must keep in mind that love is not to be claimed; it is to be
given away. Every entity of nature behaves this way. The river flows to give
life, the trees grow to remove hunger, flowers bloom to spread happiness and so
on. Love is a miracle which spreads after being shared. Spread this magic potion
of love in this universe and make the mankind a true image of God.
