Discovery of God Begins 3ft from Your Nose!
Are you on a path of discovery of God? If you belong to the ever-growing mass of deeply disillusioned “citizens of the Earth” you certainly should be.
Tired of running the “rat race” and frustrated by the unpredictability of the next day of your life, you begin to seek something more solid and permanent. Suddenly, your new golf handicap that took you 24 years to achieve looks pretty much worthless. The top of the range 900 sq ft kitchen lost its lustre after the first meal ended in an argument. And you’re no longer looking forward to the around the world cruise that you’ve planned for the last five years. Nothing seems to be making you happy; you feel that there has to be a better way.
Then, the thought about spirituality, faith and God comes; and you wonder, how those people who go to church deal with problems like yours. Or, people who not only practice their religion, but live their faith every moment of their lives – are they better equipped to handle the kind of challenges you’re facing daily?
“Let’s find out if getting closer to God will bring some badly needed peace into my life.” This is as far as you want to declare your spiritual intentions right now. Understandable, when you have to choose between the latest thriller shown on TV right now, and spending few quiet minutes thinking where to find God.
All it took you was 15 min, and now you know you should do some search online, and see who can bring God to you fastest and most efficiently. Sure, you appreciate that this is not a fast food outlet; but, you don’t have too much time to waste and quick results are what you want.
So you keep surfing websites of churches that you’ve heard about, you visit flashy sites put up by spiritual gurus and their followers. You even hark back on the remnants of the faith bestowed upon you by your parents.
No, there must not be any mistakes. Your time is valuable, and besides, you cannot afford to burden your mind with unfulfilled hopes.
As you follow your selection process trying to find somebody who will deliver the “real” God, little you realize that it really is quite simple.
What, you don’t believe that simple things work? It’s been said: “If you understand the simplest, you understand the universe.” As for the faith, there’s no much theory, it’s mostly practice. There’s no point in “researching” God.
Begin to live God’s way of the unconditional love and compassion towards all life. Practice it when you look at a passer-by, or Hannah – your neighbor. What, you don’t see eye to eye with her? Pity, for you could discover God in Hannah’s eyes, 3ft from your own nose. Happiness and the inner peace you’re longing for so badly are well within your reach. Engage them now!
