To the one who has, more will be given;
from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
I always thought this line was written incorrectly, how can a loving God taken away from someone who does not even have!! Seems very hard hearted and rude but I have no idea what this means ….
As I evaluate my life, I often feel most of what I had and wanted is taken away from me the more distant I got from God and my faith! I maybe wrong or it may be my own inadequacy .. While I am an avid listener of motivational speakers and productivity hacks, I actually feel all of it extremely diffcult to implement in my life.
As I was preparing for my exam 6 months ago, I had a plan and system to ensure I get to my goal however, while I sat in waiting rooms and read through my phone or stayed up late for online classes while dad was asleep in the hotel, I realised nothing seemed to be going according to my plan. I was shaken and whatever little time I had was also slipping away from my hands…. but I picked up and studied as much as I could between work and home and then week before I had my exam, I was hustling between my covid positive family! Ás I finally made it to the exam centre, I told myself “you did the best you could” and then I realise we had a tech glitch and the entire exam was rescheduled !
I did feel disappointed and annoyed as the entire drama was so anti climatic! But then, I know HE has a plan and he isnt taking away from me but giving me more time, time I didnt get earlier and the fact that I get a chance again makes me want to work harder!
Isnt life just like that? We are struggling and falling apart at some of our lives and we turn to the Lord who has a different plan ahead while you keep wondering why everything is not our way! I guess the best method is to have faith and give Him that and pray and hope that we can follow His plan with far less anxiety and worry about the outcome but instead focus on the journey and everyday!
Thank you for your love and encouragement in your comments .. it makes my heart swell with happiness and love for everyone! I pray all of the readers have a great week ahead!
PRAYER:
Guide me Oh Lord through your plan! Help me focus on everyday and give my heart and soul to you and push away all the negativity and anxiety!
AMEN
