Look beyond the obvious: "how many rainbows can you see?"
There were a lot of things that troubled me for the past month. Although I thought that my life was meant to be this way, I saw a window of opportunity and this ultimately changed the way I pictured my life to be.
There are instances that we ask ourselves why? and there are situations that come which makes us think really deep. Well, I figured that these instances are merely God's way of intervening. He, like any other teachers, gives us tests and checks, noting every mistake and highlighting every correct answer. He teaches us things, things that we ourselves cannot comprehend until practice.
For instance, if you pray for Patience, God wouldn't just give you Patience. What He does is, He tests you, gives you a situation where your Patience is tested. This way not only do you learn, you understand as well.
Same goes to what happened to me these past few weeks/month. I have been praying to God to give me direction and guidance. Now what He has done is He has pointed me to the right direction, but he enticed me with a lot of temptations and distractions... which I think I have dealt with. Now, I feel that I am taking on the right path. I feel that not only do I see life clearly, but I feel things differently.
It pays to pray. So, learn to pray.
And when you're done, open your eyes to the possibilities, to the opportunities.
This way, therefore, you see things differently... you see them positively.
