thoughts to.. ponder on?..ponder upon?

read this. loved it. sharing it.

life is a continuous process of growth and decay. although God presents us with innumerable opportunities to receive guidance, He also allows us to err and to stray. It is by trial and error and by realizing and rising above our mistakes that we learn and progress to higher levels of goodness, thus error, if self-discovered and repented of sincerely, can lead ultimately to a higher state:

"For him who repents, and believes, and does what is right-those, God will change their evil deeds into good deeds, for God is ever All-forgiving, All-compassionate" (25:70)

Our spirituality would stagnate without the potential for error, realization, and reform. So vital are these to our development in this earthly stage, that the prophet (SAW) reported that if mankind ceased sinning, God would replace it by another creation that would continue to sin and repent to gain His forgiveness. (muslim)

and my favourite ~
"When you approach God by an arm's length, He approaches you by two and if you come to Him walking, He comes to you running "

beautiful isnt it. and yet so many of us forget, and take Him for granted. we forget to repent. we forget to be thankful. myself included.

Ps/ to my cacat friend out there, this post is especially for you. just remember that the door to repentance is always always open to you. and He loves u more than anyone ever could. so why not salurkan all your love to Him. its the only type of love that i can guarantee will be reciprocated and can only lead to happiness =)) insyaAllah..
