A kind heart is a rebellious heart because she doesn’t fit in.
We often hear that God’s denial of our desires is simply a redirection, and as cliché as it may sound, it is the truth.
God does not deny us something we want; He simply keeps a door closed because He knows – He has seen things we cannot see, heard words we cannot possibly hear, and He knows not only what our hearts desire, but also our potential and what we deserve.
If someone has disappointed you or treated you badly (whether at work or in your personal life), stop knocking on the same door. They have already shown you their face; they have already shown you who they are.
The world does not end with a failure, or with a disappointment, or a setback.
What matters is to remain friends with God and to be at peace with yourself, with your conscience. What seems like failure may be God’s plan to protect you or to shape you, in order to welcome His final plan for you.
That is why in the end, the one who initially seems lost is the one who gets it all…because he does not even make discounts in his dreams, and sleeps with his conscience at ease, having won the greatest gift: the love of God!
