Spending your life is just to make the world a better place to live in, does not necessarily mean to live a happy and joyous life. There are many people who by their inventions have served humanity, but their lives were quite unhappy. If one’s life an act of loving and serving god, it means making the world a better place o live in. therefore we are in this world to know God, to live Him, to serve Him in this life and to be happy with Him eternity.
Bringing God into one’s life and into the world he has made, does not mean allowing religion to throw life out of balance. It does not mean indulging in the acts of worship continuously or neglecting one’s family or work. It does not also entail giving up the recreation or enjoyment we need. But it means that religion or god’s way of life should be the guiding light on our path of life.
A person can help the rest of the mankind and make the world a better place to live in, when he is only faithful to his first duty of knowing, loving and serving God.
A person who travels on the path shown by God serves the society effectively. If he was been honest, neither cheated nor spoken harshly to others, he will certainly contribute in making this world a better place to live. Some times people shirk their responsibilities. They walk on the path of evil. They give preference to vices rather than virtues. This is not the God wants us to be.
It is better to instruct to introspect and do our duty. Laws are made not for society but for individual. If each individual behaves in a proper manner, only then the society will be reformed. Hence, each person is responsible for obeying the law of God, performing one’s duties and being faithful to one’s obligations.
In order to assess to your contribution to make this world a better place to like, ask you’re self.
- Have you ever spoiled the happiness of others
- Have you considered yourself as the only person that mattered?
- Have you always followed the path of goodness?
- Have you been kind and helpful to9words you neighbors and friends?
- Have you friend to do all your work with complete honestly and sincerity?
Our lives are not confined to the materials happiness of this world. We should always remember that God watches us and wants us to respect all. No doubt, being good honest neither makes us rich nor does it spare us from sickness, bereavement and other trials of life. There are some who seem to have a smooth and prosperous life in this world even though they are fundamentally irreligious and even scornful of some of the laws of god of God. They are people who seem to have already been rewarded in this world. Hence, unless they repent and make amends, they will go before God empty handed. If they have done evil, God will naturally deal with them accordingly.
*The best way to serve God is to go through life-making the most of it, getting the best from it and making it a better place than you found it.
