We all have our own share of
challenges which we go through, the intensity may vary from person to person
but no one can imagine a problem free life. Let me list out three reasons that
has a potential to spoil our happiness.
Tomorrows
Fear: If you notice most of our energy is
expended in thinking how our tomorrows will look like. The negatives flood in
as fear surfaces which disturbs our socio emotional health. Do we realize
tomorrow is not guaranteed? Life is limited and uncertain. You can calm the
emotions of your heart by trusting God the one who has made us. The wealth and
all the resources we possess cannot assure peace and eliminate fear. God makes
provision for all. The Bible says, “do not be anxious about tomorrow.”. Well
you may say it is easy to be quoted of such beautiful hope but practically it
is impossible. Let me tell you there is no hope beside God and this Corona has
taught us that strongly.
Present
Burden: Generally, the mothers & housewives at
homes will tell the challenges they face when it comes to managing things for
the day. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. How often, for many the day
starts with a burden over so many things to get accomplished. By the end of the
day it can actually be draining. And the present burden sometimes changed to be
a never-ending problem. Jesus made this strong claim, “Come to me, all of you
who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”. Does it call to covert?
Absolutely no! The problem is we put our religious belief in boxes and we
assume we need to fall in some category of creed. God should mean relationship
not proselytizing. Do we hear that? It is all about relationship that makes the
difference.
Past
Regrets: This is another area where many struggle
because of the mistakes they have committed, guilt accumulated and live in
depression and privation. For that matter, no one is perfect and we all
end up committing mistakes. Our past guilt and sin problem cannot be
addressed by external factors or visiting a shrine, though temporarily we may
find some peace. It is a heart issue and a spiritual problem which may have to
be dealt at an entirely different level. The Bible warns us that the wages
of sin is death. We need to be freed from our guilt to live happily and
peacefully. Would you consider looking unto a God who can forgive your sins and
set you free from all your guilt?
