Intentions behind your belief

We claimed to be the ardent followers of certain religion or belief,
We should question ourselves: what are the motives behind. Do we actually
look for material gains which we believe certain religion will provide? Or do we
look for spiritual tranquility? Do we pray for health? Do we pray for career? Do you
pray that there will be a smooth path ahead of us? Then these are all our motives behind
all our pious religious activities.
Under these conditions, we are using God for our own gain.
We are commanding God to do what we want.
Actual faith is not commanding God to do for us. It is doing what God commanded us.
It is not God followings the will of us, it is may Thy will be done!
Don't treat God as our servant. In fact He has the absolute decree to bestow those according to
His own eternal will. We are mortal being. Being temporary it is very hard to comprehend His eternal will.
We should not be short sighted. Even if we did not get what were promised. We should know that God has
His own eternal will.
Faith is seeing what is not seen by reasoning.
Do not be sad if you do not reap what you harvested.
Do not be over jubilant if you harvest what you did not reap.
May He has all the glory, power.
