Just a week ago, I lost an 8-month old phone. Someone took
it from me. Someone stole it. And yes, I didn’t see it coming. And that caused
pain in my heart.
That very moment I realized someone stole my beloved phone,
which was a product of my hard-earned savings, I felt lost. And I was like,
“Wait a minute, what just did happen? This isn’t real. Is this for real?”. And
for a moment, after I accepted the fact that what just happened was part of
reality, I asked God ‘why?’. What did I
do wrong for Him to allow it to happen? But no, I am not angry at God, I just
need to know the reason why.
And after days of contemplating that scenario, I think I
finally heard what God is telling me. And these are what He said and taught me:
- Didn’t you ask me to mold you? My child, you are on the Potter’s hands. And molding you doesn’t always mean rainbows and butterflies, please know that there will be pain too. But always remember, you are on the Potter’s hands.
- I am preparing you from something great which is about to happen.
- I give and I take. And that is always for your best.
- Listen to me. Disciple her. See you had a heart to heart conversation with her that night you lost your phone. Work my child.
- If losing that phone caused you pain and made you cry because you believe that it was so unjust to steal something so personal and well-loved, my child you are right and what you felt is right. And how much more if it is the person you love? Don’t cause that pain to others.
God surely does work in mysterious way but He is always ready
to reveal His ways. We just have to always seek His face.
