to know the real us and god who is with us

Article Summary by: prathna    

Original Author: prathna

Now the part i m writin is about us and god..to know him and us...
Now the subject "god" is something
every body writes and says about in their own way
I have my own ways too about expressing my views about god
I just don’t know from where, which moment I started believing in god or I must say that I was born with a believe in him or he just gave it to me when I was born.
It all started when I was very small say in school
I always felt that I was different than others , many teachers ,students did not seem to like me but I always thought that someday I would also become everyone’s favorite but to that day and today I am just trying but cant say succeeded but as they say "try and try until u succeed" so I have kept trying and hopefully make a place in peoples heart before going to him
I always felt that god has been there with me everyday,everywhere I went ,no I don’t mean I was always lucky and whatever I did or undertook was fruitful instead most of time something or other always went wrong with whatever I did . my mom like every other mother in this world wanted me to be the best in studies ,sports or should I say an "all rounder"
But I was a child with just ordinary capabilities where these aspects were considered
I too felt bad when she expected and I couldn’t fulfill it .I always asked god that why I wasn’t that capable like others were ,fought with him for the same ,cried for the same but somehow I always came over it ,I think we all do eventually …
As I grew up things weren’t always good or should I say there was something wrong in my life always .doesn’t it sound like A life of a pessimist ? but there will be many things ahead that wont make u feel that anymore .To clear things "NO I am not a pessimist!"
So lets continue .. whenever things went wrong -without any hesitation I screamed at my sweet "god" for that and always secretly wanted him to personally come to me ,take me in his arms and compensate for everything that went wrong by saying "sorry" , that might sound funny that I wanted GOD himself to say sorry to me ,but now u know what I just know that everything that happens to us good or bad as we categorize them- is always done right by him but still whenever we feel bad about something, he feels more worst than what we feel cause we cannot see what secret good that incident has done to us and accuse"him" for how bad we feel at that moment and I feel that really hurts him
He really loves us all and always wants us to be good ,constantly giving us the chance to be good, do right for whatever wrong we have done and he does not do all this because he will gain anything from this ,he does this so that we gain from these experiences positively and understand his creations,his loveand move a step closer to him
For he just loves all of us so much that wants us to be truly happy with ourselves and only then he will be happy
So till we really find the true happiness he wont be happy .
Now lets write about my feelings for him:-
I sometimes feel that I and God are very close to each other and so close that there is not even space of air to pass within us ..
But sometimes I feel if that is the case then why do feel like a lost child in a big crowd .i know many of us feel the same ,if he is really so close then why do I feel that I have spend 21 years of my life in just finding the feel of his hands in mine…
Why don’t I feel like he is holding my hands if he is so close, why do I feel totally alone while facing problems? Isn’t this a common questions in our mind-then I just know one thing that never doubt his existence with us or else we shall be the ultimate losers .
there are so many animals,insects,organisms ,plants,trees , he has created and he loves everybody and looks after them and at the same time me too and all of us ofcourse……….
I believe he does all this with help of his ever faithful angels who are always there to look after us and strictly work on his commands it is they who get to our rescue whenever we pray to him for help ..
And they too like him love to help us.
We just have to believe in him ,our prayers and them to help us .
It is not that they wont help us unless we did a special prayer and asked for help,they would help us in any case when they think help is required .
Prayers are just a way of connecting ourselves directly to him and strengthening our belief in him and mind you this again is for our own good .
The more we believe in him ,his love- the more we shall overcome our fears our problems ,and our lives would become much better….
What does one do if he/she feels that he is alone in this world though he/she is surrounded by many people who claim to be their very own and are tied by bond of blood my suggestion is that if such loneliness grips u , just think one thing in mind that there is still someone in this world whom u might consider your own and that one is your very own GOD he is the only one who shall be with u in no matter what state u r ;be it happy ,sad ,really depressed ,in love ,out of love and all those emotions that we want to share but cannot express
He is there and believe me that he is truly there for us all the time ,its just we need to know that he is there for us and believe that for many times we know that he is there and after all that is what that has been taught to us since childhood but now we don’t truly believe in that anymore because when we were children we were more close to him ,less diluted with the worries we get to tackle now ,had more faith cause that came very naturally then and above all the patience then was very strong then what it is now ,that is true -children do have more patience then what we have ,it is only that we don’t notice it- the best example is :-when we teach a child we get often frustrated over teaching the same thing over and over again if the child doesn’t get it but does the child show his frustration in trying to learn the same thing …have we ever noticed a child when we promise them their gifts for some festival and how he waits for that moment, then yes once things near it is the enthusiasm which we term as restlessness which we can often curb ours under the blanket of being fully grown up and don’t show it off but children r children they r just true to themselves and that is what makes them close to him .so next time u r happy about something just show it off ,I don’t mean shout over your voice and let everybody know ,but just be true to your self and it is the same case with any worries , I don’t mean make a long face when u r depressed over something I just mean let ur self truly know about it so that if true heart prays it reaches god faster and your problem will be solved ,so just be true to u r self …….
Now lets take a peep in our daily life…
How does a day begin :
1>Getting up when the door bell rings and u know its your newspaperman,milkman etc..
2>ignore them ,and u have some of your family members shouting over u to get up
at this very instance u feel that hell has fallen over u ,why people don’t consider u as a normal human and u too have the right to live the way u want ,but no things never change for u ,this routine keep repeating
but how many of us really want to live the life on our conditions ,the answer would have been everyone but read again its "really on our condition ",the answer is very few of us ,yes it may not sound true on first reading but I feel it is this way ,we all are use to some kind of "follow the order" regime. yes we are actually accustomed of following other peoples orders .there might be reasons for this :-
1>first being that we never like taking responsibilities-so much so that we don’t even have the courage to take the responsibilities of our own decisions.
2>secondly possibly they are so use to domination over themselves that not much confidence remains so that they can take their own decisions .
3> possibly something might have wrong in p
