When God becomes an option..

When people have multiple choices in life eventually God becomes an option. You may be among others wondering if it is really necessary to take time out from the daily chores and spend time with God when things are all going well? Or you may be similar to people who think God should understand what they go through, especially when they go through difficult times. Apparently, some claim God should pitch in and help them in their troubled times, keep them happy and give long life with all blessings (which defines as extravagant wealth most of the time).

Now, I may be forced to define many factors if I seriously delve into this subject. For example, who you define God as? Where do you think is His abode (as the general understanding is that God is confined to religious buildings and for some, an allotted place in their houses). How is God different from you? In some cultures, people consider one another as Gods, irrespective of people being mere human. In some countries the powerful ones, the dictators force people to look up to them as God.

Now let me state my case, the major and clear demarcation one has to make before worshiping God is to separate Creator from the Creation, failing which even human beings try to make an attempt to place oneself in the position of God and customize the  moral values and moral standard based on their own specification.

God is not a formula or an equation nor He can be based on somebody's fantasy and imagination that is just worth narrating to the kids.  I am also not talking about religion which is merely defined by structures, systems and rituals, I am addressing to a God who defined morality and holiness and the one who made an atonement for our sin. You can neither attain your salvation through your good works (which is simply not possible), nor it is logical to place the faith on a God who is confined to only a particular period of time. But you need a God who lived among people and after His death resurrected and wants to live in our heart. The Bible cites the statement of Jesus when He said, “..Because I live, you will live.”.

Don’t make God an option. The breath you have is from God. Don’t take life for granted!

The moment people start defending religion they start putting one religion over the other based on majority of followers, number of gods, how big and magnificent the shrine is and number of visitors to the shrine. God and religion cannot be succumbed to feelings, and emotions alone, but on facts and experience.
