well havnt written for almost two months now :0…the lord hasnt given me anything much to chalk down actually….and my hiatus will continue for some more time i assume…but in the meanwhile my sister influenced from my blogging wanted to contribute something to the world to read…so here i am presenting a write up that came to my sisters mind…sit back and read along
Note: This is also based on our Christian Faith
What should influence our choices? A strong logical mind or a loving heart? Can Love influence the choices we make?
These are questions we need to answer so that we lead life with a true conscience. Many people choose to accept Christ as their savior and believe that they are saved by just gathering with like minded people and indulging in Praise and worship, reading the bible and feel that they will be redeemed. But to me I feel leading a Christian life is lot more than that, one should not just read the bible rather understand the bible and personify one’s life the way Christ lived. There are many who lose themselves in trying to find ways in which to authenticate the Bible as the one and only true Book of God. Well, good my brother but how are you leading your own life, are you leading a true Christian life or a farce one?
When we choose to lead a true Christian life (CHRISTIAN- refers to “adherence with Christ”) one needs to figure out whether he need to come to the Lord with strong logical mind or a true loving heart. To me Christianity is not a part of one’s life rather it is the way that one has to live. Jesus Christ is the ultimate role model one could look up to. Rather than us arguing about how he led a human life, we need to look at the message that he always conveyed to humanity. When asked by his disciples as to which is the most important commandment. He said, to “Love God with all your heart and to Love your neighbor as you love yourself”. What does this imply; it clearly implies that the way to living a true Christian life is to be an embodiment of “LOVE”. Many could argue that it is easier said than done; do you think it is so? The bible shows us that God sent his only son in flesh and blood not only for our redemption but also to show us how we need to lead our lives. He showed us that living in flesh, having the free will and walking in Faith is not an impossible task to do.
We are always at the fork of choices. I can choose to give charity either with fear that I am following what is expected by others or just because I love to give unto others. This fork of choice can be narrowed down to one clear path by choosing to do everything out of Love. It didn’t take much effort for Mother Teresa to lend a helping hand for she did everything with love for the needy. Similarly we too need give up our egoisms, self-centeredness and unforgiving heart and fill ourselves with the love for doing things for others and thinking about others so as to enjoy a true Christian life.
Hope you’ll had a good read…until the Lord leads to me to write something its adios for now
…but let me mention that for sometime now i have been thinking abt this aspect called FORGIVENESS…;)
