Beautiful At Its Time...


“I asked for a fresh flower, Allah gives me a prickly cactus. Then I prayed for another beautiful little flower, He sends me a hairy caterpillar. I am sad, angry and disappointed. How unfair….!!! However then, a very pretty flower arose on the cactus, and moreover, the caterpillar grew and turned into a beautiful butterfly. It made me realized about Allah’s way. He let something beautiful in its time. Allah does not give us what we expect, but He gives us what we need. Sometimes we are sad, disappointed, and feel hurted. But indeed, above all, He is knitting the best for us”




Do you feel something while reading those sentences? If you don’t, I do. There are a lot of things and events in our life that seem so difficult to be faced, to realize, and to achieve. So much desire, but no sufficient answers at all, even though we have tried and prayed. I believe that sometimes we ever feel that Allah gives us only the cactus or the caterpillar, or maybe we ever feel that we are the cactus or we are only the caterpillar.

Friends…
If you currently feel this, or maybe someday you feel like this..
Please remember those sentences.
Maybe later, not today, you will get your lovely flower or your magnificent butterfly. Perhaps next, not now, you will be a swanky (glorious) flower or even be a slightly butterfly.

Just be patient...
Be Happy...
Don’t be sad...
And don’t give up...
You will be beautiful at your time.
