What does God wants from us?

​

We all know God is the most supreme among all, who created everything and rules over everything. Everything bows in front of him and nothing is impossible for him.

Yet being the most high, he considers everyone as equal. He is very kind and loves everything he created. He treats us as his children and calls himself as our parent and this is the relationship that we have with him.

And so, as a parent he wants to be with us in every situation and help us in everything that we do. He wants us to come before him without any fear or hesitation. He wants us to ask from him the things that we need or desire to have and promises to fulfil those needs or desires, but only when he finds them to be good for us because he knows everything better than us and he cares for us.

But there is something more, that God wants from us. And that is, he wants us to become like him.

What does it mean, to become like him?  Yes, we can never become absolutely perfect like him. Yet there are many qualities of his that we do possess and those qualities are inside of us because we are his children.

Those are the qualities which makes us 'a human'.

Let us see about some of those qualities of God that we should shape in ourselves:

•​ Kindness

God is very kind and he wants us to be kind and gentle with everyone. Kindness changes heart of both the one being kind and the one receiving kindness.

• Loving

'God is Love'. God loves everyone and everything equally. And he wants us to love each other without any selfishness and any discrimination.

• Respecting

God is the most supreme among all yet he respects. He does not make fun of anyone or disregards anyone, even if they are in misery. And if God respects, who are we to disrespect or make fun of anyone?

• Faithful

God is faithful. And so, we should be faithful and maintain our dignity.

• Honest

God is honest and loves those people the most, who are honest. We should also be honest with others and with ourselves too. Afterall, 'Honesty is the best policy'.

• Humble

God is humble. He does great things that we can't even imagine. Yet despite of his majesty, he is free from pride. He blesses those who are humble with richness and fame. Therefore, he wants us to be humble and receive his blessings.

• Forgiving

God is slow to anger and prefers to forgive than to punish. Like him, we should also forgive and give opportunities to everyone to correct their mistakes.

• Righteous

God is righteous and holy. He appreciates righteousness and never lets the righteous fall. He wants us to choose to do the correct thing in every circumstances, even if it seems difficult.

• Determined

God is determined and he never fails. It is true that we cannot become someone who never fails, but we can be someone who never loses hope and patience. We can be someone who never quits despite of the difficulties that comes.

• Merciful

God is full of mercy and he wants us to be merciful to everyone in need, even to those, whom we actually dislike.

There are infinite number of qualities that God possess and out of those he gave us few so that we can use them and develop ourselves.

If we really want to show our dedication towards God, then we must follow his ways and his commands. And if we know God closely, then we can know what exactly he wants from us.

Thank you and have a blessed time.
