Persuaded by the Will of Life, I've made all my decisions based upon certain spiritual principles. A deep sense of completeness comes from believing in something greater than one's self. That belief, in part, is what I call the Will of Life.
I acknowledged God's presence in my life when I was very young. His presence was felt every time I needed an answer. Sometimes, I didn't even realize there was something bothering me, until God revealed the solution (or the light out of the darkness I was in).
If
you see people as spirits, you begin to
see how all of a person's actions are
perfect. They set examples, both good
and bad, for everyone else to see and
learn from. God makes no mistakes.
Our power to reason and make decisions
places humans high above all other
lifeforms. But I have a problem
believing that because of that, we are
somehow better than an ordinary animal.
I see every living thing as something
special; something of value. To take
another living life without remorse is
just like setting a bomb to explode and
not caring if it goes off in a school
house full of children, or an open field
void of human life. Something will
still be destroyed. As a society,
people are sometimes misled and
confused. Monetary value is placed on
every aspect of a person's social
status. Whether it is what kind of car
you drive, your neighborhood, or your
wardrobe. We each judge each other by
material possessions. You may say that
a truck has "cancer" because it is ate
up with rust all over the outside. But
if you look inside at the driver, you
would understand what it's like to be a
walking miracle... when the driver of
that rusty truck is your cousin, uncle,
or family friend who has overcome all
the odds set forth against him. He
could be a person who has suffered many
ailments, but is still doing great
things. People don't stop to think
about how pointless it is to have money.
If a person isn't content with who they
are or the life they have, it doesn't
matter how much money they have because
they would still be lost and
unhappy. I have an idea in my head
that lets me know what type of person I
want to be. I want to be kind, caring,
generous and compassionate. Because
that's what the world needs. There is a
"help wanted" sign for people who can
make the world a better place. The pay
may not be much, but the rewards and
fulfillmentmay be all it takes for my
soul, to find the peace it has been
searching for. And that would
definitely be a job worth having. Take
the time to live your life right. Don't
make the ultimate mistake by taking your
life for granted. Every day hold
something special for your spirit. We
are meant to learn something every
single day of our existence. Ask
yourself, "What have I learned today?"
And hopefully, you will see the meaning,
the divinity, of God's perfect
plan. God has plans for you and
me... Divine Plans.
