At the moment, my feet are standing on alien land. My face is facing many differnet-colored people. My heart feels the different people and cultures. Though we have not met each other before, oddly enough, we are fraternal. Can you tell me why?
In fact, wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one way in which you and I are alike, at this time, and in all moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey which is the purpose our life. Our hearts and souls are more similar than we may think: the same belief, the same dulcet voice, the same beautiful dream, and the same warm-heartedness.
I have always believed each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. Everything is lovely with God's blessings, whether you can feel it or not. The Lord is with you at all times, even if you are in trouble, lost and sad, one following another. W
Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan. Sorrow calls no time that's gone. If only you pray to him, He will grant your need immediately, because God guards and waits for you day and night. Most people fear death, but death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss. Belief can make our life more meaningful.
The Lord is not ice, but fire; is not force, but peace; is not distnace, but love. Love is the flame of life. Without it, everything would be in the dark. God is love. And we stood at God’s feet, equal as we are.
I feel very lucky, because I have believed in God since my childhood. The Lord has lit my way, and often extricated me from difficult situations. Time after time he has given me new courage to face life cheerfull. He has been kindness, beauty and truth. I wish all people could know God, too. Although now there is no enough freedom of religion in a few countries, leaning on dependency of the Lord, we should be hopeful. Our Lord offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. Therefore, we must rejoice in hope and be patient in tribulation. As long as we believe in God, everything is possible.
