Why Jesus ?

Actually, the question should be why not Jesus ? .... Has there ever been anyone who sacrifised so much for us ? ... Has there ever been anyone who has cared and looked after us like he does ? ... Have you ever found peace and happiness in this world like you do at his feet ? ... If you answered no to any of these questions, then there is someone that you haven't been introduced to as yet ... His name is Jesus ... and I love him !!!!

My life as a Catholic has been pretty much traditional. Going to church every Sunday, attending Sunday school, saying prayers before i sleep every night ... even when i grew up, my religion was more of a practice until one time in my life when i got myself into some serious trouble!

I will elaborate on that as we progress ... but as for today, let me give an introduction to my blog ... what i intend to do ... this blog is intended to share with you, my experience in god. My walk with the spirit and how Jesus holds my hand every step of my life ... Please feel free to comment ... to share what you feel and to share your experience with god.

In today's scripture, Jesus says ... "Whoever makes himself great shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be made great." ... this is not about making ourselves small as in thinking of ourselves as not worthy ... this is also not about being larger than life. This is about the fact that Jesus loves us irrespective of our status, position or power. However, if we do try to portray ourselves as more than who we actually are, we will be cut down to size on the day of his return ... if we consider ourselves below our own standards, we will be raised upto where we should be.

Its all about being true to ourselves. Realising who we are and about accepting it. In god's eyes, it does not make a difference. Then why is it that we try so hard to make our lives show more than what we truly are ? ... Why do we strive so hard to portray an image of ourselves which is not truly who we are ? ... Today's society has made it a point to make each of us become people whom we are not ... it has made each of us ashamed of who we really are.

The best example for this is facebook. A wonderful invention which can be used to build bridges over distance and be in touch with your friends and loved ones ... but its sad to see what has happened to it now. How many of us actually have your own proper picture on your profile ? ... How many of us actually have the correct information about ourselves on our profiles ? ... How many of us try to make ourselves look or sound "cool", and actually end up giving a wrong picture of who we are ?

I tell you ... In the eyes of god, we all are same ... and most of all ... he sees us for who we really are ... and he loves us for who we really are.

Have a blessed day my brothers and sisters ... May the spirit be with you at all times. God Bless !!!
