Wishing you all a Happy blessed New
Year 2022! If we take stock of what we have accomplished in our life’s journey,
we would know who we have evolved, as a person. We do annual health check-ups
to find if everything is ok or are we developing health complications that can
become a threat to us. But do we assess to know who we are as a person and if
it can pose as a threat to our existence? There are a number of psycho analysis
tests to assess our behavior, our attitude, our responses to situations and
assess whether we are a Type A, B or C personality. No doubt it gives a
perspective of who we are to a larger extent but then what are the solutions?
Sometimes for all of life challenges we want to address them with Meditation
and therapies. Is it so simple that human behavior, selfishness, envy, greed,
terrorism can be resolved by meditation and few therapies? If it does have an
effect on our physical and emotional health, then to what extent can it
influence the challenges of the human heart?
Many believe that one needs to
discipline himself /herself to perform good deeds, in order to master his/her
faults and weakness. They don’t necessarily correlate, except that the
resources for sinning are channeled in doing good. Doing good doesn’t conquer
faults, which has to be handled at an entirely different level. Even a New Year
or making resolutions and commitments cannot necessarily transform
mankind, though these are good initiatives. This is the reason; we need an
upgrade of who we are, not a mere update.
Updating happens when we want to just
work on the possible good in us. Upgrade is a total revamping of us, to a whole
new level. And the fact of the matter is that we cannot upgrade us, by
ourselves. We need someone who is higher than mankind, who understands human condition
and has the power to revamp us and upgrade us to find a new identity in Him.
For an upgrade we need the help from a living God who
understands the state of human heart. The Bible states the true problem of
human heart, which is “The heart is deceitful above all things; and
desperately wicked; who can know it?” Further it suggests by these
words, “guard your heart above all else, for it determines the courses
of your life.”.
The course of our life depends upon
the state of our heart, because this is the dwelling place of the most-high
God, the Almighty. And therefore, I strongly suggest an upgrade. Just imagine
if the spirit of the true holy living God dwells in our heart, our life becomes
a spring of fresh water that can soothe and bring healing to our entire life.
We can be upgraded when all our sins and evil in our hearts are forgiven. God
of the Bible addresses this problem with an entirely different solution. It is
said, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I
will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh”. Are we
ready to have a clean new heart that can change the course of our life? That is the
new upgrade we need to make happen, in this New Year 2022. Would you mind doing
a small prayer and asking Christ to help you? Wishing you God’s choicest
blessing in this New Year 2022.
