The best part of life

Hey guys! So today, I want to share with you all the best part of life. 

Before we get into it, let’s have our moment of silence. 

At this time, I would like all of us to take a moment of silence and pray to God to help us to become the people that he wants us to become. Ask God to give us strength to endure all of the hardships that we will face in life and ask God to help us to work for a better future. 

Now back to the show

The best part of life

The best part of life is God. 

There really is nothing better than God. 

I remember once I had asked my father what was the meaning of life.

You know what he said? He said it’s to live happy.  

And you know for a while I was astounded by this doctrine because I thought that it was the absolute truth. 

However, I realized that I can’t stay happy forever. I can’t stay happy because life will hit you with hardships and struggles and that it’s pointless to chase after happiness because happiness will eventually fade away. 

And then I started searching again. And this time I asked my mom. And you know what she said to me?

She said, “The point of life is to serve God.” 

And so I replied, “the point is to serve God, then why?” 

And she answered, “Everything in life will one day die. Everything in life will one day fade away. Everything in life will one day come to an end. Even the earth that you live on will one day come to an end.”

And then she said the most beautiful words that I had ever heard.

She said, “However, God is eternal. God lives forever. And through God, we will live forever too. Through his son is how we will live forever.”

“God will not die, God is our rock, God is our strength when we are weak and he is the hope that we seek. Chase God.”

And so I remember that night.

I remember I prayed a prayer that was so sweet. And it felt like honey in my mouth and strength in my heart. 

And I prayed. 

I honestly can’t remember the prayer that I said, the exact words. 

However, I remember the point of the prayer. 

I had prayed to God to help me to live for him. I asked God to forgive me for all of my sins. I had proclaimed that Jesus is the king of kings. I had asked God to help to heal me. And my mom had also told me to put all of my trust in him and so I tried, but honestly it was too hard at the time. 

I’m just starting to learn how to trust in God. 

And then, I asked God that in my lowest points in life, I want to seek him. And I asked God to provide for a house, a family, a wife, and kids, and also a job that I can work in. 

I had asked God to bless me. 

And so from that day forward, I made a commitment to myself to listen to my parents at all times. I promised myself that I was going to always say the truth. I promised myself that I wasn’t going to curse. I promised myself that I wouldn’t drink alcohol or smoke, I promised myself that I was always going to seek God and no matter what, I would always chase him. 

I remember, I was around 6 years old. 

It was tough, but sure enough, I held on to God. thank God almighty. 

I’m not going to say that I chased God all throughout my teenage years because I’ll be honest, I was pretty wild during those times. 

I was never involved in drugs or anything, but I did have girlfriends and I liked to party, and be out with friends. 

However, God really hit me hard when I was a Junior in high school. 

When I was a Junior in high school, the Lord revealed to me that I was lost. 

I fell into a depression. And I went to my first mental hospitalization. 

I’ll be honest, it was then in those mental hospitals that I started to really chase God. 

I started and I never looked back since. 

Not only did I start to chase God, but because of God working in the doctors, I actually got rid of my depression several years later. 

Yeah it was good. The Lord is the one who got rid of my depression. 

I’m literally not sad anymore. This deep sorrow that I had in my heart, is no longer there. The Lord has set me free. 

I thank God for putting those mental hospitals there and getting me out of my depression. It was the Lord who was guiding me all along. 

I’m happy because of God. 

You know it’s funny, I work in the mental health field. And my boss wants me to talk about what works for me and my situations. 

And honestly, we can talk about religion, but not to the point where we’re preaching. And honestly, what I would want to say would be considered preaching at where I work so I really can’t say what works for me. 

Honestly, the only thing that I would say that works against depression, is God. 

Why? Depression can be lifelong. Depression can grab a hold of you. 

It actually lasted all of my life. Up until around 3 years ago. 

And you know what? I say this half crying, it was God who helped me throughout my worst of times. Literally, when I was crying all alone at night, when there was no one around for me, when it seemed like I had really messed up my life permanently, I prayed to God because I thought that he would hear my cry. 

And sure enough he did. 

He gave me strength to not do evil things. 

He gave me strength to stay alive because trust me there were times where I wanted to straight up kill myself. 

And I say this, there is literally nothing stopping us from doing those evil things. The only one who held me back was God. 

I remember the first time that I tried to kill myself. I was praying to God to stop me. I prayed and prayed to God to get him to stop me because if he didn’t stop me, then I was going to do it. 

And sure enough, he did. I don’t know why, but I put my shank away and I just lived the rest of my life. 

And It never got that bad again, because each time that I was in a low, I always asked God to give me strength to endure it. 

And sure enough, I never brought a knife or a gun or any weapon against myself ever again because it was God who was holding on to me. 

The Lord gives me strength. The Lord heals me. The Lord is with me more than any friend I’ve ever had. 

And yeah, that’s honestly what I wish I could tell all of the people at my job.
