Live Life With No Regrets!

We will never be able to understand God and his purposes, for his ways are higher than ours, his thoughts greater than ours.

That's why faith is necessary, our brain capacities are limited in its understanding and knowledge.

Yet we must continue to grow.

I've learned that pride takes many forms. Besides pride in social status or material possessions, some people may be proud of their poverty. They seem to think that they are "better" than those with more money. They would like to paint rich people as proud and they themselves as "more humble" or "more spiritual" and hence "more superior".

But true humility isn't about comparing ourselves with others, its about service, it's about respecting others. It's not about deprecating ourselves but recognizing that others including ourselves are truly amazing creatures created by God so much so that we are destined to be "gods".

As CS Lewis wrote, think of the most boring person you have ever known, when we are transformed in the resurrection that person if he were to come down to earth, we would be tempted to worship him.

But despite the fact that totally understanding the ultimate logos is beyond our reach, for to truly know God would be to become God himself, we must still keep on learning about him. Even as human beings we may never truly understand someone else, we must keep on learning about him and appreciating him/her.

By learning and understanding God, we are in fact nourishing ourselves. For God is the true source of love and nourishment. Without growth we die. Without God we die.

Sometimes we think that we know it all. We don't. When we think we know it all, we stop growing because we stop learning.

Keep on growing, keep on learning, keep on praying. In every moment, every second there is an opportunity to learn, to grow if we only look for it.
