“TO SERVE GOD NOW AND FOREVER”. This for me is the reason for my existence.
For quite sometime I have been reflecting on the
following questions:
1. Why
did God bring me into existence – from nothingness to who I am?
2. How
long will I be in existence?
3. What
is it that God wants me to do during my existence?
To
the first question I believe that the answer is LOVE. God created me
to manifest His love. I am one of those whom God had decided to
create to manifest His infinite Love and Power.
To the second question I believe that the answer is
FOREVER. GOD has deigned to design me to
live with Him forever.
To the third question my answer is SERVICE. I believe that the reason for my existence in
this earthly life is to SERVE GOD, and I also believe that after my life here
on earth I shall continue to SERVE GOD in whatever way He pleases.
Since SERVICE is the reason for my existence, the question
I asked myself is: “When and how should I serve?” My answer is NOW. The past has been a series of NOWS and the
future shall also be a series of NOWS.
Hence, the present – NOW – is the time to serve God in the best way I
can and with all the love I can give.
The present moment – NOW – is, therefore,
of utmost importance. Whatever I
do NOW cannot be repeated - it becomes a
part of history. The NOWS that will come
after the Present Moment – will also become the NOWS that will challenge me on
what to do.
What to do NOW depends on the situation I am in. It is said that love cannot be done in a
vacuum – it has to be done in a concrete situation. And one’s situation keeps on changing every
moment; for as President Obama has said: “One does not step on the same river
twice.” Hence, in every moment of my
life I have to ask myself: What is it that God wants me to do NOW under the present
circumstances. Foremost in my mind
should be what I believe is most pleasing to God or what is His Holy Will. This for me is the SERVICE which I have to
render to God through all those He sends my way day in and day out. This is the REASON for my EXISTENCE.
