When I felt in my Spirit to write a
continuous article on God’s perfect gift I thought to write about Parents and
other relations. But day before yesterday I received a message from one of my sister
whom I know and she said that our life itself is a perfect gift if we analyse
it in God’s perspective.
Actually I had thought to start this
article by writing about my mom and dad but once I received that message I
thought I should start with the life which was given by God as a perfect gift
to us.
“Your eyes saw my
substance, being yet unformed. And in your book they all were written, the days
fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” – Psalm 139:16
Bible says in Isaiah 44:2&24
that we were formed in the womb by the Lord. Before we were formed He knows us
and all the days ordained for us were written in His book.
Life is a perfect gift given by God
to us. There were times when we fall in sin or when we face tough situations in
our life we begun to hate our life. At times we fail to understand the
importance of the precious gift given by Lord to us.
Many years ago on one particular
evening I got sick and the people around me took to me to a hospital. The doctors
admitted me in the Intensive Care Unit. In the section which I was admitted a
old man was also there. I think he will be around 45 to 50 years of age. His
conscious level was very low and he was in life support machines. Even my body
was also connected to so many machines but I was breathing normally. The doctors
in that hospital were carefree about this old man because he was there for more
than 7 days. His family was waiting outside crying anxiously for his life but
doctors were not bothered about it.
They failed to load one medicine in
the machine connected to him and suddenly his heart beat level went very low.
Even now I remember the incident. His chest was going up and down and the old
man gained little bit conscious and was looking at me and his eyes were
pleading me to save his life. He could not speak because of the tubes attached
and even I could not speak for the same reason. But his eyes looked at me and
pleaded me to save his life. Soon a siren sound came and the doctors rushed to
his bed and did so many things to bring him to normal stage. Later after some
time his breath level was very low and they provided him oxygen through
ventilator. I don’t know what happened to him after that but I came out of the
hospital on the same night.
Till that night I hated my life for
various failures. I was struggling in my Spiritual life too and so I used to
ask God to take my life. Daily I used to do the same prayer very earnestly. But
that night from the eyes of that old man I understood the importance of life
given by God to us. That night I faced the darkness of death. On that day I was
far away from God and I had no hope to reach heaven. Through His gracious hands
of Grace Jesus Christ lifted me from the death bed and I am living today because
of His grace.
If you die without Jesus Christ you
will no way reach heaven. Life is a precious gift of God and do not try to end your
life by committing suicide.
I know few people who tried to
commit suicide because of their life failures and were saved by God. When I
look at their life now, they are living a blessed life through the grace of
Jesus Christ.
Situations might seem to be so
tough. But don’t hate your life for that and also don’t try to end it by
yourself.
One of my friend hated life and
thought of committing suicide for love failure but his mom’s prayer saved him
and today he is living with his wife happily and he is enjoying his life now.
Another person whom I know also
failed in love and he also thought of ending his life. But God saved him and
today he is living happily with his wife and children supporting God’s
ministry.
When I was 17, I was told that I
will be failed in a lab exam. That afternoon I thought of running to sea and
kill myself. But Jesus Christ made me to go home on that day. I thought I will
be a failure in studies. On that day I had thought I will never pass my
diploma. After 12 years if you see my life now, I was about to complete my
doctorate degree and God has given me a good job and a loving wife.
“...He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world...” – Ephesians 1:4
My dear young friends, you are so
precious in God’s sight. Jesus Christ loves you a lot. Don’t hate your life and
don’t try to end your life for any reasons for your life is a precious gift
given by God to you.
