Today's Food for Thought (October 8, 2017)

If God doesn't give you what you want, it isn't what you need.

Have faith that understands why some of the things you want are not meant for you to have. Why some doors you want badly to enter remain closed and no matter the pushing and weeping, are not meant to open. Just as valuable as open doors, closed doors are gifts. They teach you and guide you and make you stronger. Trust that God would never withhold anything truly good from you. Trust that when He says 'yes', it is because He loves you and when He says 'no', it is because He loves you. He sees things you do not see and while they do not make sense to you now, one day you will see what He is up to – only the best for you.

Sometimes God gives us orange when we asked for an apple because He knows that the season won't give us the sweetest one. Everything is beautiful in His own time. God is good, for beyond darkness, He gives us light. Beyond our nightmares, He gives us dreams. Beyond our tears, He gives us comfort. God always plan the best things for us. Sometimes we feel being left out, but actually God is saving the better one than what we actually asked for. We just have to be strong to persevere in life. Hold on to God always. Don't run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps. He has plans and He has time. God's clock is never early or late. It is always strikes on time. 

Blessed Sunday, everyone.
