Last month a friend sent me this message -
" Sometimes, Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul. He breaks our heart to make us whole. He sends us pain so we can be stronger. He sends us failure to make us humbler. He sends us illness so we can take care of ourselves. Sometimes, Allah takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of what He has given us"
That message got me thinking and doing some soul searching (well... i've been doing a lot of soul searching lately). Things haven't been going well for me this year and a lot of time it makes me sad and sometimes it makes me feel "abandoned" by the Almighty... and i felt bad about feeling that way... 'coz i know i've not been abandoned or forgotten by Allah. It's a humbling experience to realize that what i don't have is nothing compared to what a lot of other people lack in their life. How selfish of me!!! And despite these fleeting selfish feelings, Allah has continued to bless me with a lot of things... and today, by His grace, i've taken a step towards a spiritual journey....
I should be more grateful for what i have and stop worrying about what i don't have. Just like what that message says - Everything happens for a reason. Allah the Almighty knows what's best for me. So, i'm leaving my life in His hands....
So, dear God, please forgive this humble soul for her moments of weakness and please bless and guide her through this spiritual journey...
