#Submission to the WILL of #GOD

                        #SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD

Recently I came across few lines that said “SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD WITH ABSOLUTE TRUST IN THE REDEEMING LOVE OF THE CHRIST”

These lines made me think how many of us are actually ready to submit everything to the will of God and sit carefree in one’s life. In today’s world of cut throat competition where each second is invested to yield a million or to acquire power “Submission” sound silly. We all are backed by targets and are constantly under comparison in all spheres of our life. Right from the day the child is born to the time he grows up to become nothing less than a doctor or an engineer and gets settled in UK or US ; in short becomes rich and famous.

We put in all our efforts, accept all unconventional and wrong ways just and just to be successful. We are more or less successful in this race and in the flow we forget to give our Lord, the Provider the importance that is deserved unless and until the day comes when things start getting wrong; there is depression and calamities, health problems, diseases etc and we start crying for help from # God.

The entire world  is going through a bad time viz inflation, war, rising crime especially against women. In the race to succeed we have no time to inculcate the values in our children who are the future. 

 For eg. We have so many families who stay separately; father works abroad, mother works in some part of the country and the child is with the grandparents or relatives in some other part of the earth. The concept of a family no longer exists or is diminishing. Isn't this one of the major reason for the rising crime?? There is no respect towards father, mother or towards ones siblings. All this is just to earn an extra penny. Is it worth doing all this??

We need to work to survive; after all we are living in a society but sacrificing your family just for your career or to earn a little extra is not justified. If we are supposed to shine we will shine anyways in some way or the other. Things will follow if we are protected under the shadow of Almighty.

The scripture says in 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for thee” and we need to have faith in it. The fact is that things are not under our control. The Lord our God has given a desire to know the future but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does. All that we can do to be happy is to do our best while we are still alive without expecting anything in return because you cannot add or take away anything from this earth.

Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 verse 1 says” Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses”. He has set a time for everything and nothing can happen in this world without his consent”. These lines were an eye opener for me. We are all on this planet for some purpose. God has a plan for each one of us before we are sent on this earth.

Jeremiah Chapter 1 verse 4 says “I chose you before I gave you life and before you were born”. We are the children of God and we are all meant to shine, as his children. We are born to manifest the glory of God within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. We should all work towards it. Once we start the hands of God Almighty will guide us…..
