I was crying so hard one day. I could not understand how my mom could have done this to me. I was in the middle of the playground... surrounded by kids that I had never seen before, and I felt alone. I could not understand why the person that I loved, and that I thought loved me the most, could have left me here... Someone came by and said... "Susana, come on, class is about to start... Welcome to your first day of school." I was only a little girl, lacking an eternal perception of things and life.
God does the same with us. He loves us more than we will ever understand with our "human" minds. Everything our eyes can see, our hands can touch, our mind can think of... was created by Him, and created for us. He loves us very much and the reason why he sent us here... to what seems a lonely, sad place called Earth... is because he wants us to progress. He wants us to learn. He wants us to get prepared for eternity.
Just like I had no clue what school was about or why I was there to begin with... we're here on this planet clueless about why it is so important that we experience this. It might seem like a long time to live... 70 maybe 80 years... but compared to eternity.... it's nothing.
Even if my mom would have set down with me and explained that I needed to go to school to learn the things that I needed to learn to be successful in life, I would not have understood her completely. God does want us to understand why we're here. And He has given us the information, but we're blinded by the things of this world and don't completely grasp the meaning of it all.
We're not here to learn how to live without God. We're actually here TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE WITH GOD, THROUGH FAITH. That's the real lesson.
Yes, if you stop loving God your spirit will die. But when you love God, is when you're spiritually born. Your spirit is young, never doubt about God's love for you. We're nothing without him.
I know how hard it is to live in this life, and keep in mind the whispers of the spirit. But I can tell you that when you pray, when you read, and when you meditate these things... they stay in your heart forever.
I wrote this as a response to my friend Axel I.'s blog. I recommend his blog to everybody because it's awakening, sad, deep, interesting, intriguing, inspiring, tasteful, passionate. All in one, he's a very good writer, a very good photographer. He makes me think...and write. (Thanks Axel).
