Everything Happens For A Reason
Everything happens for a reason, what’s supposed to happen will happen… if things don’t go your way, it can be stressful, painful, and hard, but you don’t always have to be in control. It’s all just a part of the grand scheme of things. Don’t let your emotions cloud your vision. Don’t ever fail to see the bigger picture. You may not understand why things are happening the way they are, but soon enough you’ll know.
No matter what your problem is, big or small, it usually entails a portion of your heart getting broken. Sometimes, it’s only a bruise, sometimes it feels like it’s shattered into a million pieces. When dealing with a broken heart, it can be devastating and utterly painful, but sometimes it is just God’s way of calling you back to him, to make you grow as a person, or maybe you have to experience that to pave the way for something much better.
When overcome with hurt and confusion, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture. You tend to focus on the present, and feel the enormity of your problem, you feel like you’ve got the biggest problem in the world, and you feel alone and don’t know what to do. And most often than not, you feel the tendency to take matters into your own hands. You tend to do things and you do everything you can to control the situation. And then when things don’t go according to what you planned, you’ll get frustrated and bitter. You don’t realize, that no matter how you try to control things your way, if it’s not meant to be, it’s not going to happen. If you refuse to accept it and force it, you’re only prolonging the inevitable. You’ll only delay God’s true plan for you… He has a plan for you if only you learn to be open and let go of the things that he wants you to let go of. So, stop manipulating things. A solution that is manipulated will not bring real happiness.
Problems will always be a part of life, and at times when you’re down, when you’re at your lowest point, talk to God. If you ask sincerely, he will enlighten you, clear your confusion, ease your pain, calm your fears, and heal your heart. It’s not going to provide you an instant solution to your problem, but God works in mysterious ways, and as long as you walk with Him, and just trust and believe, the sooner you’ll get to that place where you’ll see everything clearly, and you’ll finally begin to understand. Everything happens for a reason. You may not understand the reason now, but you will when the time is right.

May God be with you always as you continue inspiring others.
hi krished! thank you for your comment! i wrote this one when i was feeling very low. it was then that i realized, God was softly tapping my shoulder, getting my attention, reminding me that I was taking Him for granted. Sometimes, we all need to be reminded that He really should be the center of our lives.
i’m glad to know that God is inspiring you as well. take care and God bless!
hey, i really like this. it makes me think my best friend is losing her dad and the very top part makes soo much sense, we don’t know why it is happening to him. i really like it alot, because it will help all of us im sure one day. thank you
you’re very welcome nic… i was feeling sad when i wrote this post… and i just wanted to pour everything out on paper.. i’m glad you were able to grasp and appreciate the meaning that I wanted to convey… it’s very important for us to learn and remember to TRUST even though we don’t fully understand the reasons. and yes, that includes losing the people we love. thank you so much for taking time to comment.
Hi I just wanted to say that I happened upon this on google and wanted to thank you for this inspirational piece. I recently had a very hard and emotional thing happen to me and after reading this I feel much better. It’s almost as if a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. You wrote this very well and in a way I myself could understand. Lol. Thank you very much for this
I’d like to thank you too Veronica, for telling me all this. It really means a lot to me, to know that another person has been touched by what I’ve written. I meant every word of it, and it came from deep within my heart. I hope it has somehow helped you. God bless you always.
“Everything happens for a reason, what’s supposed to happen will happen… if things don’t go your way, it can be stressful, painful, and hard, but you don’t always have to be in control. ” I totally agree with what you’ve said above. Sometimes discouragements and worries start the moment things didn’t go well for us. We often forget that God is still in control of everything and that He wants the best for us. As what Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”. As i was reading your article above, i was reminded by the man named Job. He lost all his riches, closest friends and his family yet he trusted and praised God for everything, and in the end God blessed him doubled. As what God said, “For your thoughts are not my thoughts neither your ways are not my ways.” May God bless you as you trust Him daily.
I love this! I will read this always! can I share your blog to my friends in friendster? Thanks!

Hi imogen
I don’t believe in God but I do believe that everything happens for a reason. You have a nice blog here.
Wat u said in ur blog is quite true…A lovely message!!!
i went throu a rough patch abt three months back (My GF ditched me for another guy). Now when i step back and look at it - i feel that it is good that it is all over - i suffered for a short time but i am sure that it would have been worse in the long run!!!
this is nice except theres one thing.. the present is exactly what you DON”T focus on in times of distress… if you were focusing on the present, your mind would be free. But the mind is always stuck in the past and the future which causes most of peoples pain
