WE SHOULD ALWAYS LET GOD BE THE CAPTAIN OF OUR LIFE’S BOAT

If we think deeply, it is obvious that our lives knowingly or unknowingl­y are controlled by the almighty. We are all living by his grace. In other words, the remote of our lives is in his hands.

So it is always advisable to keep him in our souls, letting him decide everything. Even if that means that we will no longer be attached with materialis­tic pursuits. The tenure of our journey of life would pass at the bat of our eyes. Sometimes, some anomalies may occur in our lives, but we aren’t ready to believe its existence. But, the fruit of our actions lies in his hands.

Holy books and scriptures also promote faith in the almighty. Our life is like a sailing boat that faces good and bad weather.

When the weather is bad, it is important to realise that god’s mercy is what keeps us sailing; similarly, when the weather is good, we should not forget god’s kindness. It is, perhaps, this nuance that makes life a beautiful one, one which is worth every second of our lives.

The sea is like our lives, on which we undertake the journey, and our aim is to reach the other side of the bank.

God is the captain, who steers the boat going in the right direction, saving us from any kind of danger, especially when we cannot control its movement. We should hold the anchor firmly, hold the precious gift of life, and continue to strive for excellence.
