LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

I was all tired and sleepy the night I was walking through the streets to come home from school when suddenly somebody not far from where I was walking shouted "F--- life!" in Tagalog.

I really hate it whenever I hear someone cursing whatever one chooses to curse and in this case, I heard that "somebody" cursed life which eventually lead me into writing this post.


L-I-F-E


A four-letter word which simply means the existence of an individual. The reason behind the fact that all living things function and grow..

but that doesn't end there.

Life is a gift and we always have to do something with our gifts. Either we keep them or ignore them.

Now here's the thing. Speaking from a viewpoint of an 18-year old young lady, I know I'm not able to expose all things about life but yeah.. still, I know something about life. That life is not here to stay for eternity. That life is something we do not own. As aforementioned, life is a gift - a gift from God and I know one thing.. life is beautiful.

Yes, I know that we don't always get the things we desire the most in life because apparently the world is not a wish granting factory as John Green would say it but that does not make any changes to the fact that life is beautiful. Why? Because we all are blessed to have a life. The fact that we get to live a life, see and enjoy the world, experience the entire creation of God and be someone in this world are simply few of those great privileges one can enjoy. I mean, who are we to complain about life? God entitled us with our own freewill and it only means that we are responsible for whatever happens with our own lives. This is how it goes: life's happenings depend upon our own choices and as far as I know there are only two choices in this world, a YES and a NO. Both choices come with different consequences and of course it's only between positive and negative. For example even if one is born indigent, which is apparently negative, still there is this hundred percent chance to turn one's life around. What I know is that our decisions make the biggest changes in our lives which is why we need guidance. Guidance in making life-changing decisions and this guidance seems to be so apparent. Three letters - GOD. Live a God-centered life. Trust in Him. The answers's as simple as that. So if you want to make your life beautiful, include God in it. Do not forget to ask Him to direct you because in the first place He was the magnanimous giver of life and He will always know what's best for you. For us.
