Spirituality
In my previous post, I identify spirituality or Godliness as one of the three pillars for building a well-balanced life. Here I want to explain what is spirituality and some three benefits of spirituality. I use the word spirituality in this article to mean Godliness.
1. Spirituality means
having a strong connection or relationship with God. This means getting in contact with the Almighty God and allowing His Spirit to gain access
and control in your life. In life, you either on your own, in connection with God, or with Satan.
2. Spirituality also means
knowing and living according to God's commandments. In other words, a spiritual
man is a man that knows God's words and does God's words. He does not walk by what everybody else thinks, says, or does. He only walks according to God's principles, not according to man's dictation, and God's principle is the only perfect principle for humans.
3. Spirituality also means
believing and trusting in God for your life. This means depending on God for
your protection, favor, and success. You do this by always praying to God to keep you
safe from all evil, and you always depend on God for wisdom, strength, resources,
and relationships that will bring prosperity.
Benefits
1. One benefit of spirituality is that it gives you peace and rest of mind. Since you have put all your worries and anxieties on God, you will have no worries and you will not be afraid. When others, who are
not spiritual, are afraid of many uncertainties, you are not afraid because you
know that God is watching over you to keep and prosper you. Also, because you walk by God's commandments, you are naturally kept from the consequences of breaking morals and established laws.
2. Another benefit of spirituality is that
spirituality gives you happiness for many reasons. You will be happy and joyful for enjoying God's protection,
wisdom, guidance, progressive life, good relationships, favor, and many
other reasons.
3. Spirituality gives you the ability to love and serve others. As a spiritual or Godly person, you will become a blessing to others, because the spirit of God in you will make you want to love and serve other people. You will want to share what you have with the needy in your neighborhood, and among friends and family. You will also want to share the goodness and love of God with everybody around you, making you a positive social influencer.
Again, spirituality is a
strong pillar in building a well-balanced life. In the midst of troubles, while
others are shaking and falling, those who have a strong connection with God will
be strong and will never fall because God will hold unto them. These people enjoy unspeakable peace of mind, joy and happiness, steady progress, and they are positive social influencers.
I am able to tell you this
because this is my personal experience. Even though my biological parents passed
away when I was just 3 years old, among the major reasons why I have been able to come this
far was that I started my relationship with God as a little boy when I was 11 years old, and
this is what has been keeping me going stronger.
So, start or recommit yourself to your spiritual journey today, by moving closer to God, learn about Him, and
walk (trust) in Him.
