Did you ever feel being lucky because you just got home and the rain started pouring right after? Did you look up to the sky and thank God for it and did you look down to the place where you’ve just been and saw others who weren’t so lucky and wished they have their umbrellas with them?
Sometimes I got a gut feeling about leaving the place right at that particular moment even though 5 minutes later I realised I forgot something and regretted it. But just as I decided not to go back, the rain started pouring heavily out of nowhere.
I always take it as a blessing. And I always thank God for it.
During my lifetime I have been rejected more than being received, and I took them as blessings. However, my family and close friends always think otherwise. No, I still looked happy even though I got rejected simply because I understood “rejection is a blessing in disguise”, or “denial is a divine protection”.
Sometimes, when you thought you gave it all, more than you should, would bring you satisfaction, would validate your worthiness, would bring you the reputation. So you got so addicted to give and give until you were burnt out and when you cried for help you realised no one was around you. I even heard from others, “you brought it all to yourself.” I must admit it was triggering at first, but I have now understood it was true. When you seriously don’t know your self-worth, God will probably step on the brake, take your wheel and change the course for you. But first, you need to learn the lesson.
Who doesn’t feel sad and angry when you got rejected and abandoned by people you gave your all to? Many times I have experienced situations where the person who I took the bullet for was the one behind the trigger. But when your sanity returned to you, think again, why would you get triggered? They didn't have your best interest at heart, they obviously were using you. It was truly a blessing from God to remove you from the scene, before you could invest even more.
If you can pull yourself out from the situation, look at it as a spectator, you are cleverer than you think you are. You know it was time to go. Trust your intuition.
The truth is, unless your vessel is empty, God cannot pour better things in it. Let go of the toxic people who didn’t appreciate you, but do not curse them; if they are lucky enough, they might have God to help them to realise their wrong and apologize to you one day. Think of them being in the middle of the fire watching everything burn to the ground around them but still not moving from the scene.
And you and I both know where the eternal fire is.
Next time when you were saved by God from a pouring rain, think about those who hurt you. Simply because you are blessed by God at little things like this. Not that those who got wet were not blessed, as they might have got out last time like you did too.
Nothing is always as it seems to be. And only God knows everything. So have gratitude in everything.
