It always amazes me whenever life spins a big surprise and sends it hurtling towards me when I least expect it. This is what I love to call “Divine Intervention”. Have you ever gone through a period in your life when it feels like everything is going downhill and you’re at a loss and you don’t know what to do? You’re trying so hard to do the right thing, you labor over endless possibilities in your mind, but you couldn’t quite decide what you should do next. I’ve been through this predicament just a few weeks ago.

I was having this strange feeling that I can’t explain. I had this recurring bad feeling in my gut that refused to get out of my system. I knew something was wrong, I knew it, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. After trying to analyze it, time and time again, and failed, I finally gave up. I gave up trying to pinpoint the source of my inexplicable emotion, and just prayed. I surrendered the whole thing to God, and I took a step back, and let Him take the reins. See, I was really at a loss, I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. How can I do something about a feeling that I can’t even explain? So I surrendered it to God, and after a while, I felt a lot better.

Then one day, came the Divine Intervention. I will not go into details, let’s just say, God paved a way for me to be able to experience clarity. All at once, the confusion was gone and everything became clear to me. I’m not saying that I liked what I learned, because the TRUTH does not always come in pretty boxes with colorful ribbons, you know. I learned the naked truth and admittedly, it hurt. But I will never have it any other way, because I’d rather get hurt learning the truth, than go around in tiptoes behind useless pretensions. I stopped and thought about what happened, and I thanked God for letting it happen. I know it was His way of telling me that I did the right thing surrendering everything to Him.

What’s most amazing about the experience I had, was the powerful message and lesson that I got out of it. I learned that God really works in mysterious ways and acts at the most perfect timing that we won’t even see it coming. I used to think that I can control everything, that I can handle anything that goes on in my life. I was wrong. I learned that whenever I put matters into my own hands, I only get confused and worried, and then everything seems to fall apart. But when I allowed God to be in control, He knew what to do!

Sometimes I still do forget that God really is supposed to be in control. After all, He knows every single thing about me, and He knows what’s best for me. I just don’t usually give Him a chance to do the wonderful things He wants to do for me. And sometimes, all He wants is for me to relinquish control and let Him be in charge. Believe me, it’s such a wonderful feeling, it’s like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulder. He proved to me, that I have nothing to lose by letting Him be in charge of my life, only lots to gain. What happened made a big impact in my life, and it just made my faith stronger. I thank God everyday for meddling with my life and for always reminding me that I’m not in control. He is. And it never fails to put a smile in my heart.
