Karikta's Testimony, I think

[Karikta]

I'm sitting here on a computer that was given to me typing, which is a skill I learned in middle school, seeing the screen with my slightly flawed sight, and breathing in air that smells like sardines, which was my dinner tonight. I feel like I am blessed with so much in life that I have no one to thank but God.

I was walking down the street one day when I saw this homeless man proclaiming to be Jesus. It was kinda funny but at the same time something was disturbing about the site. At first sight I knew he wasn't Jesus but now that I think about it again I don't know how could have been so sure. For all I knew, the guy was Jesus. I have distanced myself from God so much that I wouldn't know it even if he appeared nor would I believe it was Him. I guess it just got me thinking about how I view my life as if I am immortal in a sense. I feel like I have years and years ahead of me when really thats not the case.

So now I think about if I were to die tomorrow and what would happen as a result. As for as my soul is concerned, the outcome would be disatrous. There would have been no significant reason for my life. I really don't like the idea of living for nothing so now I'm searching for a way to make a difference in this world in a way that's beneficial to my soul.

That, in a nutshell, is my testimony.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

In a sense, that man was Jesus. Homeless and destitute, in his own demented way, he was crying out for help by proclaiming he was Jesus. I think about people like this and wonder how they got that way. maybe they were born with mental problems. Maybe the started out normal and something happened to their mind. maybe they were successful business men starting out, but perhaps a series of unfortunate events befell them. Who knows?

Regardless what happened, people like this need help. If you are looking for direction in life, perhaps God is leading you to do something for people like this. Perhaps you can go work in a shelter or food kitchen. When we love others, we love God.

Thank you for the advice. I have been thinking about becoming more involved in community service lately. However, I have had this strong urge to join the fight against hiv and aids. Maybe I'll keep your suggestion in mind too.

I think that God lays on us the desires of our heart. The important thing is do something that will serve God by serving others. Pray for His guidance on what you should do. Sometimes He'll give you confirmation on what to do. Like, for instance, perhaps someone who doesn't know your desire to fight aids/hiv might say something out of blue about it, that sort of thing. At any rate, I pray that God will build your compassion for people in whatever you decide to do. God bless you, Karikta.

Love & Peace,

Dondi
