Genuine
Life – January 9
I always hear the quote, “YOLO : You
only live once” and that is indeed really true especially because this life
that we have is just one and we must live every day. But that doesn’t count the
fact that we have to jump from a mountain high because YOLO! For me, YOLO is
more on giving myself to God every single day.
I remembered a sermon from our
Priest saying, “Life’s problems are life’s source of beauty. Those painful
experiences are actually the learning that God sends us. God never promised an
easy journey in life but a sweet arrival in paradise.” Indeed, this is true because
I experienced a lot of hardships in my life and things that I don’t want to
look back at but as time passed by, those things are actually the reasons that
I am strong today.
I became a better person because of
those wrecks and ruins in my life and those are also the reasons that I appreciate
my existence here on earth especially because this life is given by God unto me
and I should cherish it. It was God who gave me life and it should be for God
that I am living my life.
For me, life is not the whole life
that I have but the life that I spend every single day with the people I care
about. Life may get stuck at some point in time simply because God reminds us
that we take life easy and slowly and with a good and joyful heart. If we allow
God to enter into our life, we find ourselves further into what it means to be
truly human and truly alive.
Only God can give us the genuine
life that we want because God alone is the life in us. “Just as God raised
Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by the same
Spirit living within you,” (Romans 8:11)
