my Lord

I had an operation in late July. It was suppose to be a normal op, with recover after a few days. After two weeks, I still unwell. Its been hard and I have had a lot of patience. I contracted an infection, which made me really sick. Its only when your soo sick, hallucating from the fever, that one realises that The Guardian Lord is your true companion. Like I know my creator is always there, but its when I felt soo sick, soo in need that I cant stand on my two feet without assistance thats one understand how in need we really are. We have this body but it can be cut down at any time, even if we look after our health, this health is in the hands of God's will.

We are not going to be young for ever. This life is temporary so we have to get the most out of it.....in a way that will help us to grow in faith, love, hope and connection. What helped me in this sickness was thinking and praying to my Lord. Saying words of pray and zikr, helped my heart have hope and a inner peace of connection to a far greater Provider, Curer and Helper. We get soo busy with this life that we forget and over look the really important things. Things that money cant buy, like connection, a loving partner or child taking care of us in our greatest need, praying to God ; looking up at the sky and feeling the soft wind, just being.

God did not create in vain.

He created us for a reason.....have you found yours?

Deen


Just wanted to share one of my favorite quotes,

"In accordance with how good your expectations of and hope in allahswt are and how truthful your reliance and trust are in him, Allahswt will not betray your hopes in the least, as Heswt does not betray your hopes of those who hope and does not cause any effort to go to waste" Said by Abu-Muhammad al-Maqdisi in Salt prison in Jordan. From "Reflections Expecting the best from Allahswt". Great read mashallah.
