God's Help

"Believing and obeying God doesn't mean that you will not face storms but it means that He will not let you be destroyed by them" These are the words that came in my mind (not all of them) when I was thinking about God, and looking at some historical events. And this sentence was the result that I came up with finally. Sometimes we feel so broken and disturbed that we say Oh God! where are you? why don't you help me? But I realized that His help is always there. He always helped the people who believed in Him and Obeyed Him, because believing in Him is not enough, one should do exactly as He said if he wants to be peaceful in his heart.

My Precious Gift

Sometimes when I look back in my life and try to remember something, it feels like it was a dream. May be you have experienced something like that or may be it's just me, anyway the point here is not to talk about how beautiful of how bad the past was, but here I would like to say something else.
I remember those school classes when we were told that everything is made up of atoms and in the past it was considered that atoms are the smallest particles in the universe but later on some crazy people tried to discover more and they found out that atoms themselves are made of even smaller particles (or may be not particles just SOMETHINGS) well whatever they say I don't want to argue with them right now. So I always wondered that there are some other things, (hmmmm well we can't call them things specifically but ok lets assume these are called things), which are not made up of atoms and so they should be made up of something else. Ok this is not going to be a science lecture so I just come back to the point. I always tried to find out what is our life and what meaning does it has, and few days ago I was wondering about this and the thought came upon me that our life is made up to time. The years, months, hours, minutes, seconds, they are our life. I mean just think about it, from birth to death what we all have, surely just time. We are not born with the same opportunities and same capabilities but there is something which we all are born with, it's time. Of course everybody doesn't have the same amount of time to live but still everybody has it with him.
So I think the most precious thing that we have is time, and we have a limited amount of it, because with every passing second it moves towards a finish line.Like an hour glass it's moving towards it's end, and if we see closely it moving pretty fast. I mean most of us must have used a stopwatch or a countdown timer (yes I know mostly in game there is a count time timer) so when we look at to milliseconds we can see that they are moving really very fast that we can even barely see them. Just in the same way the countdown timer of our life is moving, with the same speed, so we should use what time we have in some kind of a better way to play the game of our life, before it says GAME OVER, or Time over , well whatever it is.

Now there are some people who realize this importance of time and make use of it in a good way. I mean there is slogan you must have heard that "Time is money" and stuff like that. But I don't believe that the time is money, it sure seems so but it's not in my point of view. In my point of view this gift that we have, (yes I am talking about time) has some greater purpose, it has a greater meaning for us. I have seen such people, the old ones, when they look upon the life they have spent they say, "well we wasted it". And even if they are very comfortable , a very nice house, bed, and some other things like that, but still they feel that they lack something, something that they should have done. And what they are missing is the true Happiness. I mean you can see them smiling and laughing but their faces show something else, their eyes tell a different tale. What they missed is to sow the seed of happiness at the right time. Have you ever seen a candle, well sure you did. So at the start when we lighten up a candle it flickers and at the end when it is about to finish it flickers again. During these two events it remains steady (unless you are blowing over it , and tell me hey Umer this is not so) and you must have noticed that during this time when it is steady we can make the best use of it. Similar is the case of our life when we are born we try to adapt to the environment we have , when we are old we try to adapt to the environment we have because in both these time we have little control over it so the only choice we have is to adapt. But during these two times we have a period in which we can do most of the stuff and we are capable of it.

So lets make use of that period in such a way that would bring happiness to us instead of tears at the end. And even we get tears at the end it will not be of pain but it will be pearls of happiness. Remember that I told you in above paragraphs about sowing seeds of happiness. It's about spreading love to the people who love us , who make us happy, and specially to the people who can't be happy without us, and they are always looking towards us with hope in their eyes. ( Ok if you don't know what it looks like see the above right picture of this cute little girl and see her eyes, and if even then you can't understand then may be you have to think even harder about it ). Lets not waste our "precious gift" in doing something which doesn't matter in the end, but do something which brings peace to heart and soul. You know why I call it a " precious gift" , because we are all given it, we are all have been awarded with this treasure, so it doesn't matter whether you are poor or rich you have this precious thing that you can give to other. Lets say we give it as a gift for birthday to someone we love, (How?). It's so simple spending some time with him/her, being with him/her. In this way we are not only giving a moment from our life but we are giving him/her a part of our life, (Remember my above words that our life is made up of time). This is the seed I was talking about so sow it today, don't wait for tomorrow who knows tomorrow may or may not be.

Let's do  it before our precious gift flies away and we don't have anything in our hands. Thank you for taking your time to read this.
