When I was younger and naive, I used to pray a lot for the things I wanted and needed in my life. A few years ago, I met a guy from an online dating site who I was certain he was the one for me. Over the years, I never truly understood why God didn't answer my prayers -- until now. It was very apparent to me that as this guy and I both grew up and live completely different lives; I noticed an overarching theme in his life where in the end, he has no inner peace in his life. The drama in his life is still there as it was when I first met him many years ago but appear to be present in different ways.
I recently met up with the guy to catch up since I hadn't seen him in almost four years. It was great to get an update and during our conversation, he managed to drop many major bombshell news but deep down inside of me, something about this meeting felt completely different. I didn't have any butterflies in my stomach from seeing him like I did at the very beginning of our meetings. I was steady as a rock! I was there only for the sake of conversation and friendship.
As I sat there listening attentively to his stories, I realized that God wasn't ignoring my prayers, He was actually saving me from having a life full of problems and never-ending stress. I look back and reflect on the experiences I've had in my life, and I know for a fact that I have grown into a better version of myself due to these positive and negative life lessons. I can't really say that is true for this guy.
I have concluded that I should always trust God even on times when I don't truly understand why things are happening or not happening in my life. I'm a strong believer now and my faith in Him has grown much more. Sooner or later, God will find the right time and place to show you the answers to your questions and God made it very clear to me a few days ago.
I wish the guy all the best and I'm certain that he will overcome his issues and be a stronger person for them later on. Meanwhile, I am at peace knowing that I have a quiet life. I get to enjoy my time and focus on the things I want and need in my life.
To God, I want to say: Thanks for looking out. I understand now why you didn't want him in my life and for that, I thank you!
As always, thanks for reading,
