How to Know His Will?

Many times I was asked if I believe in destiny.

Things happen because they are bound to happen. If it is not yet clear to you, everything is set before your very eyes.

God’s will. It is not a compelling force that restricts you to do something out of your free will. It is more of an amazing way of revealing things. I call it the “weird” way. Why weird? Well, for me, God is a playful God.  He is childish and funny in His own ways. When we are too serious in handling life’s situations, He remains cool.. and light.. and easy. Sometimes He is the one to remind us “Hey, relax. You can handle it!”. Yes we are given difficult challenges. There will, of course, be some heartbreaking scenes as we go on our way. We will always get lost, for even the faithful are shaken. We will always get tired and weary. We’ll run out of hope and patience. We will always get hurt and inflict hurt. If you are not to experience these things, think again, for you may not be living life at all.

Our will. It is an amateur showcase of what we’ve got. I’m not saying that we are direction-less. We are, most of the times, POINTLESS. We know the right things to do, the right words to say, the better decisions to make. But we still stubbornly depart from it. But, then again, if you are not to experience these things, you, may not be living life at all.

If you are reading this because you are experiencing a conflict between His Will and yours today, I’ve got some advice for you. Don’t try to understand everything. At the end of the day, you will realize that you can’t do anything but to just LET IT HAPPEN. Acceptance is a heartwarming answer to our unending worries. Our emotions may be overflowing at the moment; we want everything to take place according to our plans. In feeling like this, we will get disappointed and discouraged when things turn out differently.

Instead, try to figure out how things are going through and have a clue on what God wants you to do. If your expectations are not met, maybe you should stop waiting for it at your doorstep. You can always talk to Him, ask Him for signs, do it. Just don’t pressure Him to answer you right there and then! Again, He’s cool, and He is taking HIS TIME. You might want to take it too. Now if everything is favorably happening, enjoy it, and BE GOOD. Try to make yourself better if you are blessed with what you pray for. If God thinks that you deserve it, He will GIVE IT TO YOU. If you still don’t have it today, maybe you are not ready to receive it yet.

Trust me, He’s clever and naughty and weird. He’ll surprise you to the point that you’ll just smile and realize what a witty God He is. Surrender my friend. He is the most genius, and HE’s GOT CONTROL of EVERYTHING. What more can be so reassuring?

So now you know my answer. I don’t believe in destiny, simply because I don’t call it destiny. What I believe in, is God’s Will.

Happy Sunday! =)
