For the Love of God
I love you, LORD, my strength, Psalms 18:1
[image error]What is the most important thing that is required to live a good life on planet earth? What is that one thing that we seek all our lives? The majority of the population would promptly answer ‘money’ or ‘material wealth’ as the one thing that is desired by all. The subconscious mind, however, knows that we, as the beloved creatures of the LORD, desire and seek love!
Our minds may be corrupt but our souls are clean. It is our soul that seeks love; love of our Lord, love of our fellow men, and love for the creation of the Lord. All through our lives, we struggle to find the strength to overcome the hold that our prodigal ways have on us. We ultimately find the strength and the resolve to fight such battles, continuously, through the blessings of the Lord. He has a constant eye on all his children, whom He loves equally!
There is no greater love than our love of the Lord. He is the one who looks after us, provides us with clothes on our backs, feeds us, and ensures a roof over our heads. Despite the very errant nature of man who is prone to violence, war, and other sinful activities, our Lord is the one who ensures our security and keeps us safe from harassment, torture, illnesses, and untimely death.
Our strength resides in our love for the Lord. Our love for Him is visible in a variety of different ways; the time that we spend praising the God; our acts of charity; our empathy and kindness towards our lesser fortunate brothers; and our fight to maintain, preach, and spread the message about omnipotence of the Lord, are all acts of love for our Lord. Such acts of courage help us absolve our earthly sins and provide us with the strength that we need to continue our pursuit of love for the Lord.
The Lord may not be visible to us in a physical shape. But he is with us, within us, and all around us. He is perennial with us, giving us the strength that we need to keep fighting the iniquitous ways of the world. You can feel His presence in everyday routine, each and every day of our lives. His presence can be felt in our acts of humility, in our acts of love, in our acts of brotherhood, in our acts of kindness, and in all our acts that work towards the honor of the Lord.
The Lord’s presence can be felt in our ability to overcome tasks and difficulties in life that seem insurmountable. For He is the strength that flows within us and allows us to overcome the overwhelming odds; for He is the one who fights for us when we seem to lose the faith in our abilities, and He is the one who comes in between us and our obstacles and protects us.
