Left To God
Many of us at times, become very helpless about a problem and
leave the work to God. Let God do whatever He wants now. I am
out of this. I cannot do anything anymore. I leave this to God.
This happens many times in our life when we feel helpless. Talk
to a terminal cancer patient who has given up all the hopes, and
you will hear only about God. Am I correct? Download these
screensavers to get enchanted with the compassion of God. 1, and 2. We also leave many others to God.
Sometimes knowingly and many more times, without any knowledge.
Let me elaborate. There is so much misery in the world, so much
poverty and sickness. A majority of us have left these suffering
people to God. Am I making sense? We make no effort to help.
This is what I meant by saying unknowingly. We are not bad, but
we are so overwhelmed with our own life and have become so
immune to misery around us that we make no effort to help these
people, but leave them to God. Some of us don't take this
attitude, but try and do whatever we can. Like Mother Teresa
did. Such people become saints.
Now let us talk of something very cruel. How can leaving someone
to God be cruel? This sounds contradictory. But this happens.
Let us see how. A mother leaving her new born child on the
street corner. Why? She never wanted the child. She does not
know what to tell the world about the child. She has prestige to
keep in society. She has her own problems. So what can she do?
She leaves the helpless child to God. Oh, Lord, In all your
mercy, please take care of my child. I leave my child to you.
And she walks away acting as if nothing happened. How do you
look at this?
Why did she sacrifice a newborn to her false sense of prestige?
Why did she give society more importance than her helpless
child? Why did she want to keep this facade of truth? Did she
make God happy with her action? What do you call this. If this
is not cruel, then what else is this?
Why did she not pray to God - Oh, God, I have this lovely child.
I don't know how to bring up this child. I don't know what to
tell my relatives about this child. I don't know how to face
many problems that will come while bringing up this child?
Please help me. I cannot leave my child alone. I will bring up
my child myself. Please help me. Please have your mercy on me?
Why don't such people leave themselves to mercy of God? Why do
they try to get up, try to earn, try to prepare food, and try to
feed themselves? Why do they go to a doctor when they are sick?
Why don't they always say, God, I am sick, please take care.
God, I am hungry. Please take care. They don't. Because they
don't have total faith in Lord. The faith and surrender that
makes them leave their every life issue to God is absent. But
these same mothers leave someone totally helpless to the mercy
of God. Such mothers are cruel and ruthless. God does not love
them, but sends them to hell forever.
Many of us leave our beloved to God and walk out. Leaving behind
a shattered life, we justify our action saying - I leave you to
God. There is no bigger cruelty than leaving one's beloved when
they need one most. God never forgives such evil people.
