I want to have a “God” moment with you…
Imagine that on the day you were born, your parents gave birth to an amazingly beautiful child. You were their pride and joy and the LOVE that they felt for you was no less than the Love that GOD has for each one of us. Over the next few years you learn what it is to communicate and love through language and gesture. The people in your town help raise you with the wisdom and knowledge that was pasted down to them from their parents and grandparents. You consider yourself blessed because you realized that from the time you were born up until now you were loved. You realize that not every kid is fortunate enough to be loved as you did. Not only were you showed love and how to be a righteous person, but your friends and family showed you what it was like to LOVE GOD and how GOD loves us.
Years go bye. Finally your out of school, your not under your parents control. You are your own person and finally in your life you start asking questions about your existence. You start questioning your upbringing. When you try to rationalize your beliefs, all of a sudden they dont seem to make sence to you. You start learning about other religions and next thing you know… you think that maybe you should try out a different path . Your parents and many people whom you’ve shared the same faith with no longer see eye to eye with you. Before long, alot of your old friends that you once shared a love with, no longer hold you by that Godly brotherhood or sisterhood.
Should you hang onto your faith and pray that God makes you a stronger believer and that he increases your faith?? There is also another option by the way… You can start learning and studying other religions that are very popular in other parts of the world.
Please turn away from the computer right now and think about this for a few minutes. Have a moment with God. After pondering this for a few moments, please continue

Here is what you need to know. These were the facts that you were not given until now.
Fact #1. You were born and raised in Punjab Pakistan. Country population 165 Million made up of men women and innocent children.
Fact #2. You were born and raised by very loving parents who raised you under a genuine LOVING Islamic belief system. (97% of your country practice Islamic teaching).
Fact #3 The religion you were contemplating as you got older in Pakistan just happened to be Christianity
How do you feel???? What did you experience when you read that your faith was” ISLAM” and not “Chistianity”??? WHen you look at someone on the street who grew up in a different RELIGION or CULTURE as yours, do you ever think to yourself, JUST MAYBE… God is “within” them as well as you?? What do you think you really know about life????
This is a true story actually and it happens everyday, in every country, in every town and in all the thousands of religions that have ever existed.
I wrote this story because it is something that has been in my mind for almost 10 years now. I understand that it brings up ideas that alot of people seldom like to think about, however wouldnt it be nice to stop looking at people as …
Christianity: 2.1 billion
Islam: 1.5 billion
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion
Hinduism: 900 million
Chinese traditional religion: 394 million
Buddhism: 376 million
primal-indigenous: 300 million
African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million
Sikhism: 23 million
Juche: 19 million
Spiritism: 15 million
Judaism: 14 million
Baha’i: 7 million
Jainism: 4.2 million
Shinto: 4 million
Cao Dai: 4 million
Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million
Tenrikyo: 2 million
Neo-Paganism: 1 million
Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
Rastafarianism: 600 thousand
Scientology: 500 thousand
I want you to know that your life is bigger and more important than our social, cultural and religious ideologies. There have been many GODLY people in this world who have shaken the world. Seems like their messege’s have been somewhat similar to each other. We can spend our whole lives playing games and choosing to follow in the steps of what has divided us for thousands of years or we can choose to step up to the plate and start looking at people in a different way. Hopefully we can also let go of some of our own belief systems in order to step into the light of truth. If you want to know how to LOVE, follow the road of truth. How do we know what truth is?? I mean… there have been sooooooo many who have claimed to know the truth.
THIS IS HOW YOU WILL KNOW WHAT TRUTH IS:
when we are children, we are born perfect. We are made beautiful. We are unprogrammed to any lies or deciet. We are who we are and we dont try to be anyone but ourselves. However as we experience life, we are made to feel that we are not good enough. We are shown what is beautiful. We are programmed and conditioned to think, act and feel certain ways. WE then base OUR REALITIES off of those experiences. Forming forever what is known as your BOX OF BELIEFS.
So here is my conclusion: To set yourself free from pain, hurt, lies, fear, lonelieness and learn how to walk in LOVE, JOY, PEACE, HAPPIENESS, PURPOSE, DESTINY, ONENESS and UNITY with yourself, others and most importantly GOD… all you have to do is this…
Look at that box of beliefs that you’ve held onto so closely your entire life and realize this one thing.
THAT BOX IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ILLUSION! IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
Only then will you ever be able to find that truth that you’ve been seeking your whole life and NO-ONE will ever be able to misguide you again in your life because you NOW know the truth.
This was my GOD moment with you. I live my life very simple. I let LOVE be my mentor and guide. I saw an article written that was labeled “Why do Religions Teach LOVE and yet cause so much war?” My answer to that I believe is because each and every person who has walked with GOD and helped to bring humanity closer to the being of God has been followed by people who have warped and minipulated the original messeges that were past down and EVENTUALLY written as “TRUTH”.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT!!! Beauty exist in every person, yet few will ever figure out how to let the fullness of that beauty come out of their own existence.

forever be loved, forever be blessed,
