So Much Depends Upon How You Read Occurrences in Life
God said:
Life in the world, as you see it, is a mixed bag.
You could be a saint, and your house or cave could still be over-ridden with ants who bite you.
Did you perhaps think that saints always have it easy? Did you think you are the only one on Earth whose life seems to do a number on you? Do you think everyone else is spared from annoyance and woe except for you?
Life also bestows blessings. It behooves you to accept everything life hands you and not read too much into it and be laid low. Hidden within every what you see as a set-back lies the hand of God, and God gives only blessings no matter what you make of life and what you say about it.
A blessing does not have to be a wish of yours come true. A blessing can also be a hard-time. From what you see as adversity, you may grow amazingly. Some day you may even see the blessing in it.
There is a story about a boy who was lame. The world considered this inability to run as an adversity. Yet the lame boy who couldn’t run away learned to face everything.
I have said this before, and I will undoubtedly say it again. You may see Me up in Heaven where everything is wonderful, and you may see Me as I sit on My mountain-top plotting what well-chosen difficulties I can make for you. Disregard these thoughts. I don’t plot at all. My aim is always directed at more than you. There is a whole configuration of life. I will make no apologies for how something seems to look like to you in your perception of the world. You and I both wish you would immediately see as I do.
