May kasabihan ang matatanda: “kung hindi ukol, hindi bubukol”. Mahirap pitasin ang bunga ng puno na hindi pa hinog dahil mapakla at mapait ang lasa nyan. Hayaan mong mahinog para mas matamis yan. Ganyan din sa buhay, dapat ang prayer natin sa Diyos ay ganito: “Lord, don’t give me something which does not have my name on it.” Huwag mapasaiyo ang bagay na hindi talaga para sa iyo. Everything comes to you at the right time. Just be patient and whatever is for you, will find you. You don’t have to chase for it because it will chase you.

The Bible says that God is the God of the beginning and the end. Minsan kahit ano pang prayer natin na wag matapos ang maliligayang araw natin, but if God puts an end, don’t keep re-opening it because it has completed its purpose. The Bible says this: “…you will enjoy life to the fullest.”

Naniniwala ako na what’s meant to be yours will make its way to you. In the same way, what was never yours, will start to run away from you. In due time, it will make sense kaya pala nawala ang opportunity na yon, or umalis yong tao na yon sa buhay mo because something better will come. We just learn how let go the wrong stuff, the wrong people so we give the right ones to come in. For the meantime, do not try to understand everything dahil baka masiraan ka ng bait. Ma-windang ka. Live life and choose to be happy despite not knowing everything, because one day you will do. Focus on living fully in the “now”, the present. Enjoy the beauty of being alive because life is beautiful.

If it’s for you, it will come to you is a good paradigm to live by. I am not saying in anyway not to pursue goals. No, not at all. What I meant is for you not to keep living full of stress like a dog chasing its own tail. But trust the process that God’s plans is for you to enjoy life to the full.

What has your name on it will come to you. Maaaring magtagal and that it may take a lot of patience, a lot of overcoming challenges, a lot of moments of despair and a lot of heartbreaks, but what’s meant for you will always be worth the wait.

And I think that’s the beauty of faith: knowing that there will be a prize after all you’ve been through. Whether it is what you wished for or something better. Whether it’s what you’ve been waiting for or something even better than you could have imagined.

God is always up to something new and amazing. Maybe his timing doesn’t always match ours, and maybe his plans for us are nothing like what we had in mind, but it’s comforting to know that what’s meant for us will be ours in the end. Maybe we’ll stumble upon it, maybe it will find us, maybe we’ll have to fight a few more battles, but it’s good to know that once everything falls into place, what’s meant for us won’t be taken away from us. What’s meant for us will always be there, no matter how hard things get or how many people try to stop us.
