Praising God: A Journey of Spiritual Awakening and Divinity

As human beings, we are often confused about the concept of praising God. The confusion stems from our misunderstanding of the nature of our soul and spirit. It is important to clarify that a soul is energy, and souls do not praise. It is Golgi, beings of energy, who praise God. Given this, the question arises: How can a living soul praise God?

Understanding God’s Creation

We were all created by God and are living souls chosen by Him. He knows us by name and nothing escapes His eyes. God is our friend who is closer than a brother and our ever-present help in times of difficulty.

The Nature of Praise

Some cynical answers suggest that God would be narcissistic if He asked for praise. However, praise is not for His sake alone. Instead, it serves a higher purpose. Let us consider God as a parent rather than a tyrant. A parent’s child often learns the true value of good things through experiences that teach the child what it feels like to be without such blessings.

When a child does not appreciate true and good things, their values are misguided. This temporary phase helps the child develop real values, leading to true enjoyment and bliss. Similarly, by recognizing the wonder in ordinary things, we gain true appreciation and, consequently, true happiness. Even painful experiences contribute to our growth, teaching us true empathy and compassion.

The Power of Appreciation and Reflection

The best form of praise comes from deep appreciation, a recognition of the wonder in things we tend to take for granted. This appreciation canoften emerge when we face the consequences of wrong choices, as this opens our eyes, hearts, and souls to the beauty of life.

As we deepen our understanding and develop genuine compassion for others, our praise becomes more meaningful. Instead of being like a spoiled child, we understand the true desires within us, leading to a profound form of divine praise.

A Life of Devotion and Freedom

Ultimately, the ability to praise God comes from living a life that is infused with divine grace. Until God grants us life in His Son, we cannot praise Him. A living soul does not need to be taught to praise God; it praises Him from the depths of its heart.

When a soul is freed from the flesh, it can praise God for all eternity. This freedom allows the soul to experience an unending journey of gratitude and devotion.

As we embark on a path of spiritual awakening, let us seek to understand and appreciate the wonders of life through the eyes of faith and divine guidance. In doing so, our praise becomes a testament to our profound connection with the divine.
