"If GOD touches you with a hardship, none can relieve it except He. And when He blesses you, no force can prevent His grace. He bestows it upon whomever He chooses from among His servants. He is the Forgiver, Most Merciful." 10:108
I was looking for somehting else and i came across this verse..
Do you remember when our parents will go,, it was he , she, dem people.. who are doing this that that against you... They dont want you to succeed etc bla bla bla
At least sometimes my mum has said that...
it makes me laugh you know..
what a powerful statement it makes - the above verse..
and i can understand it to mean, if God willed something for you then so be it..
I am reminded by another verse "Inama amruhu idha arada shayan an ya kula lahu Kun Fa Ya Kun".. ( arabic a bit hazy sorry)Surah 34 ( second to the last verse)
loosely without checking means.. "For anything to be done all He (God) has to say is Be and It is..."
so at all times God is always in control and as He has designed, so it shall be..
This is particularly true for me in that i am grateful to God that i can recognise that God's will be done so when those "nagging" "nipping" voices in my head start to bother me with weird suggestions that "maybe dis person doesnt like you and wants to do juju for you".. bla bla etc.. I can always overide with logic and say.. if that is the will of my God then so be it.. for in my times of triumph and tribulation I will always turn to my Lord.. In times of happiness and sadness I will still turn to my Lord. even when things dont go my way, even after longing and pining for ages and it still doesnt swing in my favour, I will still turn to the Lord.. For the Lord will always provide in His own time when He knows it will benefit me..
So no person or being can do nada to me except unless my God has ordained that they shall, No one can stop my flow unless My God has ordained so.. and if it is that way, Then i guess my Lord sets me a test to see if i will run helter skelter or if i will still remember Him..
God willing regardless of the test, I always turn to my God.. The Almighty..
Remember the scripture where solomon said.. "This is a test whereby my Lord tests me to see if i am appreciative or not"...
Well, in my own way i can say all these things are a test for me to see despite the adversity and hardship if i will still hold on to my Lord
May God be praised, always and eternally by me and by every being..
My Lord, for real, direct me to be appreciative of the blessings that you have bestowed on me and to do the righteous works that pleases thee.Admit me by thy mercy into the company of your rightous servants,
For even I in fields so broad, some duties I may fulfill. And i shall ask for no reward except to serve Thee still.
Let thy name be forever on my lips, my every breath my every thought, Let me never ever forget to praise you, exalt you, remember you..
For indeed you have never forgotten me, indeed you are always there for me..
though i may have ran away from you, for years and years, I come to thee in totality seeking thy ways and thy ways only. Seeking thy truth and guidance.
Who else but Thee will guide and inspire me
Who else but Thee can provide for me
Who else but Thee O Lord can I turn too
For all praise is Yours
All authority, Kingship and Glory
In this life and in the hereafter
Be you Glorified most Gracious Lord,
ps: i always feel knd of smug and sheepish when i blurb all gooey like this.. but this is me.. F.A.O..warts and all..
