Day 211 – God’s Delays Are Not God’s Denials

Things in life work out the way they are supposed to if we remain open. Even though at times it seems we can’t have what we want at the moment, the day will come when we will see why it didn’t happen now and we’ll see that what we got was better if different from our desire.

We experience what we experience so that we can evolve. Only when we remain open to the lessons of life do we get those lessons. Our Higher Power moves us along even when we don’t see reality because we are blinded by what we desire.

Many times we can look back on our lives and see why we didn’t get the job, the girlfriend, the boyfriend, the new car, the dream house we picked out, and on and on. It’s often said that when one door closes another one opens. But we can only walk through the open door when we are able to fully close the one behind us and when we are willing to accept that things are not always as they seem and that we don’t always get what we want when we want it.

And it may work out that we get exactly what we want it just happens at a different time than we expected, most likely because there was a lesson during the wait. Something like patience or faith could have been the lesson.

Always remember that not getting an answer to a prayer today or getting what we want at the moment, is not a final answer. It’s either a: no, there’s something better; or not now, but we will get an answer sooner or later.

Because we can take all these “nos” and use them as proof that we shouldn’t move forward with our goals. Or we can learn from them, release them, and then keep moving ahead, driven by a deep internal yes that refuses to be ignored.

Today if you come up against rejection, remember: This does not mean “no.” It just means “not this way.”

Just start by being grateful for what you have now in the world, and more of what you truly want will surely come into your life if you allow it to.
