The Lord Made Us

           “THE LORD MADE US, WE BELONG TO HIM.”  This is the response to the Responsorial Psalm in the Holy Mass today, Oct. 22, 2012.

            Reflecting on the said Responsorial Psalm,  I became more aware of the greatness of my being.  The fact that it is God Himself, the Supreme Being in this world, who created me and continues to sustain me in my existence through His creative power is, indeed, a great mystery for me.  Filled with awe at my own existence in this world, I asked myself the following questions:

1.    Why has God created me?

2.    How am I to relate to God, my Creator?

3.    Why am I now in this world?

4.    How shall thank God for creating me?

5.    For how long shall I be in existence?

After praying to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment,  I arrived at the following answers:

1.    God created me to manifest His LOVE.

2.    Since I am God’s creation, I should relate to Him as a creature that is fully dependent on Him.

3.    I am now in this world to become one of God’s instrument in Doing His Will.

4.    To thank God for creating me,  I can think of no other better way than to simply strive to DO HIS WILL every moment of my life with all the love that I can give.

5.    My existence is in the hands of God.  My faith, however, tells me that I shall live forever in union with God.

I still cannot fully comprehend the great mystery of my existence in this world, but my reflections serve as BASIC GUIDELINES for me to live a meaningful life in this world.  I trust that as in all sincerity,  I try to live according to these guidelines God in His infinite wisdom has countless blessings in store for me.
