In our every step in our lives, there are two opposite things we always do. Good deeds or sinful wrongdoings. All of our behaviour will always be categorized into those two. In reacting to God’s mercy, there are also two things we can choose from: be grateful or denying it.

It is one of the simple systems God has given to us, as the clue to think and act more wisely in our lives so we will be regarded as a member of the band of the blessed people. Why?

God has decided a system for His creatures, especially for human, a well-designed system as the actualization that God is the most perfect planner of universe. God created the system for human beings to see whether we are aware of our position as His creation, and how we should act as creations to our Creator.

As human, we are created to praise God and to obey His rules. It is a defined system that God has created. If human strayed from the system, God would warn us to get back to the certain system. It is a form of His love for us. It is also a way of communication from God to us. The holy books even say that God is actually closer than our veins. And that is certainly a real proof.

God has given us two choices. If we chose doing good deeds and be grateful for God’s blessings, He will grant us with equal rewards or even much more blessings. But if we choose wrongdoings instead, then He will give us warnings.

In fact, God let us go through some punishments on earth before the bigger punishment at the end of the world, only to help us to go back to the straight path. And actually what befalls on us now is caused by our own misconducts. We cannot detach ourselves from His punishment on earth. We cannot have protection and helper aside from God Himself. However, God is very giving and might forgive most of our wrongdoings.

We should think that all misfortunes happen to us are warnings to go back to the straight path. It is the God’s divine system. We should also think that disease, disaster, and other misfortunes are only a few of His punishments for humans. Those are the results of what we have done. Those are warnings from God to get back to His path.

We are living in a system where we can pick our own destiny. So if we wanted to be healed, a trouble-free life, blessing or whatever, we had to change our own destiny. Because in fact, there is no one who can change our destiny but ourselves.

We live along with God’s angels who one after another always follow us on our right and left side, before and behind us, guarding us on God’s command. And truly, God wil never change our state unless we change it ourselves. Once God decided to give us a test, no one can deny it and there is no protector other than God Himself.

A later implication that may happen is, if all of us (or most of the society) were well-behaved, peace will come into the society. Everyone will respect each other and harmony will exist. On that level, peace in the society is achieved and the world peace is feasible.
