The greatest mantra
for a satisfied life is to appreciate what you have. However, it is always
assumed that self-contentment and appreciating what we have is the result of
all the tangibles we possess, which is untrue. Every morning when I wake up and
open my eyes, I thank God that He gave another brand-new day to live and to see
what approximately 1,60,000 people are not going to see, because that’s the
approximate number who ceases to exist each day.
I like to reiterate
this fact quite often and I wanted you to hear it again, 108 billion people
have lived throughout history and in that 93% are dead. You and I are among the
7% living in this period of time. Isn’t it wonderful and fascinating? Appreciate life! Value enough what you already have to stay in perfect
contentment. Consider the creatures; the animals, the birds, they do not
have their food stored for the next day but start fresh each day and make
opportunities to find food and live. We are not just mere creatures; we are
unique and special. The Bible says, “We are God’s Masterpiece.”.
We have a purpose to
live. Purpose is what makes us unique and different from other creatures. We
often fail to find our purpose and wallow in regrets. The purpose is not just
to satisfy our physical and emotional hunger but learning to appreciate the
life God has given to each one of us and spread, love and hope to people. We
derive happiness and satisfaction when we help someone who is in need and
struggling to make ends meet. This is how it is recorded in the Bible about
Jesus while He was on this earth, “He (Jesus) went about doing good
and healing all who were under the power of the devil.”.
Jesus was not a spiritual guru who went about talking philosophy of life and pointing out a way other than him, but literally healed people who were born blind, deaf and mute, the lepers who were outcasts, and raised people from the dead, which is recorded in the Bible and validated by History and archaeology. This is literally God’s kingdom and we are privileged to live on this earth for some time. Try to know the true living God whose history endorses resurrection, and trust Him your life to make it promising and enriching. Allow your soul to connect with God the Saviour. We are made with a soul as C. S. Lewis puts brilliantly, “You don’t have a soul, you are a soul, you have a body.”. There is eternal life after death. If there is hope after life, there is hope now too. You are not lost! Make a small prayer to invite this Him into your heart. You would enjoy a pure sense of satisfaction and hope in life.
