Encouraged In The Discouraged

   What would life be if we automatically received what we thought we needed or wanted at that time at that exact moment or if that specific moment we have been longing for automatically became our narrative? I think at first we will be excited and happy all of these amazing things are happening but then after a while we will feel the effects of something that wasn't meant for us at that time and we would fumble what we asked for because it wasn't our time to receive it.

   Everyone has felt some type of discouragement or you probably are feeling those moments right now because something you thought would happen, didn't happen right now in the moment that you thought it should happen. And those feelings are valid because I'm sure that it was in your heart and you prepared, worked hard, and prayed for it. But just because it didn't happen the way you thought it would doesn't mean it's not a part of your journey and that you won't get to experience it.

 Discouragement is an opportunity for you to be encouraged in that moment and for you to use the opportunity to change the perspective of the situation. God didn't intend for that specific moment to be yours he wanted you to experience the best of his blessings and he wasn't going to give you what you thought you wanted or needed because it wasn't good enough according to his plan. They say less is more but know that your less is his more and God is taking you back to his drawing board so you can be abundantly blessed through his works, not yours. Be encouraged and know God has seen what you thought was yours and he said "I have something better". When those feelings of discouragement arise and you feel sad and you feel a setback, step back and watch God provide and give you more than you could have ever dreamt of. Trust and know that God isn't about to let you or anyone else play about you. Let go of what you thought you wanted so that he can replace and restore what's properly yours.
