As human beings, we are gifted with God with various faculties that allow us to rise above all other creatures on earth. Alongside with this giftedness, we are also called to be obedient to do His will and follow His commandments. As each day passes by, we are also exposed to life’s complicated ways and somehow along the way, some if not many of them would eventually influence our behaviour towards life and humanity.
At times, we tend to neglect our basic responsibility that to be obedient to our Creator and instead, we follow what our instincts tell us to do. We choose to be far away from His embrace. Notwithstanding His unending kindness to each one of us, we embrace what then is temporal and completely unnecessary in life. We savour them, enjoy them, up to the extent of allowing ourselves to be overwhelmed by them thus creating a deep vacuum in our relationship with God.
On the other hand, owning then the intellect and the will could therefore allow us to rule over all these temporal and worldly affairs. We only have to will it and convince ourselves that there is no other way more essential in life than His way up there. Thus, may we learn to accept our limitations and convince ourselves to be consistently obedient to the will of our Heavenly Father.
