GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #245

Let me not ask of God to be part of my plan….

Good morning friends,

Many of us tend to do something extreme,
We ask of God to be part of our scheme.
Our life, we forget, is already a gift from God,
But, we expect our every effort He’d reward.
We keep record of our every good and right,
And demand that we should be made knight.

Our system, we feel, is best suited for Him,
He shouldn’t follow His own fancy and whim.
How dare He favour whom we know to be bad,
Whilst the “righteous” are hungry and unclad?
“Something is wrong with His system of recompense,
Many a times His gifts are at someone’s expense.”

‘Let’s stop playing God’ is my humble suggestion,
At every step of life, let’s not crib and question.
Do we have, than Him, better inputs and sense?
Isn’t that the most arrogant and egotist pretence?
How do we know what He gave to whom and why?
None of us can ever get over self, ego, I and my.

So, accept with humility whatever He has given,
Whilst rewarding us many sins He has forgiven.
“God, let me be worthy of whatever you give,
Let me be grateful to you for as long as I live.
Let me never question your judgment or plan,
For you are my Master, I am just a small Man.”

….let Him be God and let me be Man.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
