When God Says NO

Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,

and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 6:35

            There are times when the one thing you want is the one thing you never get…

            You pray and wait.

            No answer.

            You pray and wait.

            May I ask a very important question? What if God says no?

            What if the request is delayed or even denied? When God says no to you, how will you respond? If God says, “I’ve given you my grace, and that is enough,” will you be contented?

            Content: that’s the word. A state of heart in which you would be at peace if God gave you nothing more than He already has.

            Most of the times I am guilty of these things, never had the feeling of contentment even if it was God who said NO. I found a very important lesson, at times we thought that it is only ourselves that we hurt when we don’t listen to God’s answers, but in my experience… I kept on trying to make God change His decision for the one person I loved the most but only to find out that I’ve hurt her more than anyone involved and more than myself’ve. I just realized this things when I she told me…”ed hahihirapan na ako” and that’s it! Ayaw ko nang saktan pa siya…pinahihirapan ko na siya. di ko kaya yun. Just have to let her go.

            I know God has perfect plan for the both of us. I’ll just have to wait for it.
