Can You Tie The Knot?

 

 

My beloved Readers, (Peace and blessing be upon you)

Has there been time where your desperately asked the god for something and got it? And has there been time where you desperately asked the god for something and not got it? 

 

Like me if you answer is yes then go back and think of how you responded in both the situations. 

 

Now, that I'm writing this I realize how immensely I'm blessed for the things I got immediately got and for the things I still haven't received.  

 

I'll share as much as this human mind of mine can understand because I'm sure our mind is limited and is not fully capable of understanding the reason behind every everything that happens in our life.  

 

When I revisit to certain situations in my life now, I can tie some of the knots which were once out of my capacity and were like a loose string.  

 

There have been times in my life where I've desperately asked for something from god and got it instantly. I remember when this would happen my heart would fill up with His Love and would instantly feel blessed and grateful.  

 

But when I asked for things which I thought I desperately needed (and I thought I couldn't live without them) and did not receive it instantly or in a few days my heart would swell up in sadness and would think why am I not given what I'm asking for? Am I unworthy of handling what I'm asking for? Or have I done something wrong and am I getting punished by not giving what my heart is longing for? 

 

Trust me we find all the ways to self-sabotage ourselves when we don't get what we ask for instantly.  

 

Now, while tying the knots of few situations in my life I can say I'm grateful to God for not giving me what I wanted back then (and yes I'm alive and writing this, strange how I once thought I could not live without if I'm not given what I'm asking for). 

Now when I think of it I realize how badly the same things would have damaged me for what I was asking of. Those things would have made me ignorant, arrogant, selfish, and most importantly maybe I would have lost my inner true self if I would I gotten what I was asking for. 

 

There have been times where I would be so desperate to get something and would keep on asking God to bless me with it but when I realized I'm not getting it anytime soon, eventually I would lose the interest in those things and later realize I never needed it in the first place.  

 

How perfectly it is said, "God not giving you something is also his way of giving you everything".  

 

Now, when I don't get what I ask for immediately I tell myself, "Maybe not now Asma but future you will understand the reason behind it & you will be fully amazed and will be at peace and ease. So, learn to humble yourself". 

 

One day you will be able to tie the loose knots of your life & you will be grateful for how you stayed humble and endured everything which came your way.   

 

"The path which you once thought was leading you nowhere was in reality bringing you closer to the blessed path".  

 

With Love, 

Asma
