Manik Aftab

My relationship with Him

Published on: March 6, 2016 7:55 PM

This piece of writing I’m about to type is personal. I myself don’t even know why I’m typing it down, I just feel like doing it. The focus of this writing is my relationship with the Creator. The Chief Architect of the Omniverse; the Be-All End-All; God. My relationship with Him is, well, its difficult for me to explain. But one thing I know is that the relationship is based on love and respect. The former is shared between the two of us. He loves me, I love Him. The latter, I believe, is my duty to Him. His supreme stature, Him being the Supreme Judge of everything, and with the passage of each moment the respect grows more and more.

There is another answer to why do I respect Him. Whenever I feel like talking to Him, I can. I just have to speak. No matter where I am, be it any place on the planet, I can communicate with Him. And it gives me peace. One thing I would like to mention here is that I speak to Him when I’m alone. I tell Him everything, even though I know that He is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. I can ask Him anything, for I know that He has the solution to all my problems.

Here I would also like to confess something. I mentioned above that how He has the solution to all my problems. But I never said that how I praise Him, or worship Him. I only have problems to share with my Creator, I only have complains. I never share with Him my happiness. But when I’m in some kind of trouble, I cry Him a river and tell Him that this world is cruel. I never bother to thank Him for the wonderful gifts He has given me, and He continues to do so.

He is worthy of being worshiped. He doesn’t need my prayers, He doesn’t need my praise. He is above everything, He is One Above All and, I’m only human. I cannot thank Him enough. I am too busy accumulating wealth, I’m selfish. I’m the child of Adam and Eve, yet I side with Satan when it comes to choosing between love and lust. Forgive me Lord! Forgive me!
