What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
My Mom always told us that. Whatever is destined for you, you will receive.
Being brought up in a Christian home, we are taught at a young age to pray and ask the Lord for all we need. I accepted Christ as my Saviour at a young age and started following him ever since.
Mom witnessed my struggles in life at school and work. Sometimes, I would come home depressed, complaining about not getting that promotion or crying about the poor score I received on a test. I studied hard and even prayed day and night for better results.
She would sit me down and say those words. Really I didn’t want to hear them I wanted what I wanted. But as I grew older and then Mom passed I realized she was so right.
I don’t need to struggle and to walk around upset. God has a plan. A plan that will be fulfilled not in my time but in him time, which is the right time. What he has for me, nothing can take it away for me. If God is for me, nothing can be against me.
I need to trust Him when I can not trace Him. In other words, when it is dark and he seems quiet, he is at work on my behalf.
I looked back at my requests over the years, and nothing I asked for I didn’t receive. I did not get it the way I thought I would, but I received it nevertheless.
For example: I always prayed to get a job at a certain department store. I loved the clothes I loved shopping there. Year after year, I prayed for a summer job there. I never got called. I went off to university and got engrossed in my studies, forgetting about that job I so wanted. I went off to college to further my education and graduated in a field. I had no clue if I would get a job.
I got an interview for a job with good pay even before the ink was dried on my diploma.
Guess where the clinic was located?
In that large department store, I so long ago wanted to work. I was not going to be a clerk because I did not work for the store, but the clinic was a concession in the store. I worked for the clinic that paid way more than that store would ever pay, and I worked at the store and location I wanted.
Mom was so right.
Let God take control, and he will turn it all around in ways you have no clue or idea. He will do a new thing, and you will be satisfied.
She always told me to trust Him.
Best advice ever
