Birthday is the reminder from God that God still loves the world. Every new born child is the gift from God. God is so transcendental he cannot show us himself or we cannot see him as he is but he makes himself visible through several ways that we as weak humans can understand and grasp that visibility of Him. How nice of God to do that? It is absolutely remarkable act of God, that is why Jesus washed the feet of his disciples to make them understand that no one is superior to others. Son of man can do such and noble act why can't we do it. It is a pretty gigantic challenge for all us who are growing in this capitalistic society where each one fills his or her own barn even at the cost of other. Tremendous amount of pressure is built in each humans as we are born in this universe. Race plays a significant role in our lives. Race to be the first in the class, in business, in computers, sports, in almost everything. This indeed cripples us to some extent even though we might get a momentary success in our struggle to attain this race.
God reminds us not to be master or dominate our neighbours, as he said rightly, those who are fist will be last and who are last will be first, we have a responsibility as belonging to one human family to support and help each other even at the cost of our own self. It is hard to give 5 bocks to a beggar when I need to buy an itune gift card for my girlfriend. It is hard to give sometime for someone who has lost his/her mom when I have a long awaited appointment to have point to lager at the pub.
We can make difference if we start doing it. I am sure there are many people out there who think like me but when it comes to action it can be really challenging. Thus it is our disposition that lead us to an action which emerges from our inner motivation (attitude). We all are God's children and we ought to be like God's children. Children of love, peace and generosity. Let us try to make visible this to our fellow neighbour.
