Life...
Each
person tries to understand the purpose or meaning of life. Life is
similar to breath of wind that cannot be turned back or relived. All
that occurs in our life - occurs once.
We long
for something that can stop the raging whirlwind of our life...
which spares neither friends, nor relatives, nor ourselves. All of
mankind rushes in search of something that can fill the internal
emptiness, give relief to our pain, and give hope and confidence in
a vital way. But all human attempts and efforts to fill this void
are empty promises that are vain and useless. The next storm that
comes into our lives breaks our hearts, and exposes our dirty and
evil human essence for what it is, which the tatters of our
hypocritical love and humanity cannot hide.
Look
back. Where are all the idols and ideals which like fine sculptures
once filled your heart? All of them have fallen under the impact of
the lie, not having brought the promised world. Both you and they,
once majestic and proud, are now broken and lonely. You are like a
blind man, as you search for truth and meaning in the darkness of
ignorance and egoism.
The
uncertainty frightens you. "What is Truth?" - you impudently ask
while looking in eyes of The One who is True. In your efforts to
obtain position in society, you crucified Love. By your own hand you
pulled down all Divine principles, trying to grasp that for which
your flesh thirsts. Refusing to worship the one True God, you became
your own god and the subject of your own worship.
And
now, at the threshold of eternity, you convulsively try to calm
yourself and cover over your fear, before something unknown and
inaccessible to human understanding consumes your heart and pulls
down your soul.
But
listen closely. Do you hear this gentle voice? Take a moment to turn
away from your vain pursuits and listen to it. It is not similar to
all those voices which you already heard. Something inside of you
has begun to come to life and has directed you on to this voice,
which can fill your heart with the long-awaited world for which you
searched your whole life. It is Jesus Christ's voice, the voice of
Truth, the voice of Crucified Love. Are you surprised? It is real -
Jesus is alive! He died to forgive you and He rose again to give you
life and to make you a child Divine. He wishes to fill your heart
with peace and love and to help you to cross the threshold of
eternity without fear. God has prepared you for much, and has much
to give you. He wants to give you His forgiveness and His love. He
wants to give you Himself. But you must to ask. Ask, and He will
give all. Do you feel how your spirit is drawn to the Creator? Open
your heart to God... ask Him to help you. Do not push away His hand.
He loves you, and in great love is expecting you as His favorite
child. Go to Him and be dipped into the stream of His great mercy
and grace.
