There are even theories out there that says Man is actually the one who created God because when there is no hope they create a 'God' to give them hope.
And there are also many testimonies that tells stories of successful people. They have great jobs, they have faithful spouses and beautiful kids, they manage to go through each obstacles that they face, everything seems to be perfect but what is lacking is the emptiness in their hearts.
To me I often question myself, what is the difference of having God in my life. What if I deny His existence? What if I don't know His existence at all?
Then I compare my life in secondary school and now.
I know that it's a normal process for people to change due to some situations and that's the meaning of maturing.
But I realise that I can't fill up the emptiness in my heart without God.
Sure enough, there are motivation articles and books about thinking positive out there to help us set our mindset straight.
When they say, don't worry about your problems, they will be gone over time, I will feel that so where do the problems go actually? How are they going to solve themselves?
But with God in my heart, I know where the problems go. They surrender to God. Hahaha I think I can say that. God is bigger than our problems, as what we are always told, so when they say don't worry, have peace, I know that God is my solution.
The ultimate difference of not having God in our lives and having God in our lives is not that we won't have problems in our whole lives, but we understand that there's God behind our backs who will help us to learn more about patience and have peace in our hearts, and by that we won't feel insecure on where our problems will go.
Nek shared a video to me yesterday about a baby who is in serious condition and may not be able to survive, and how the baby's parents encouraged each other with prayers and faith which turn into peace in their hearts. It was very touched as they really have faith and trust in God that whatever situation it may be, they have peace in their hearts. But I can say that, their hearts can only be strengthened when both of them are of the same faith. I don't know how they are going to do it if one of them is not a believer of the same faith.
When there are no crisis in our lives we can say that we don't need God, but when something big hits us and when we're depressed, that's the time when we cry for help. If it's that so, why not have God in our lives without having a crisis to happen? That way we know that our hearts are stabilized with His existence all the time.
Lately I've been feeling contented with Husky. Even though we have conflicts now and then, I still feel contented. But that feeling immediately change into fear as I'm scare that the happiness that I'm having now won't last long. This has nothing to do with him and it's all about my emotion. Therefore, this post is to remind myself that I shouldn't let fear takes away my happiness that I deserve. Otherwise, what is the difference of having God in my life? He is always in control of everything. :)
