This has been a phrase that's been in my mind & heart for quite awhile now. Its been a message from God that been repeatedly being proclaimed to me at mass as well as my times of silent prayer in the adoration room of late. But just recently, this phrase has been made perfect with the addition with a few more words by our Awesome God!
"There is no blemish at all in God's plan for us if we are always earnestly seeking to do the will of God from our hearts!"
Of late, so much has been happening in my life and I'd say that many of those events & experiences have been really painful ones within my heart. Due to these experiences, I've been on a search to connect the dots of these experiences and make sense out of each experience. After which, I hope to be able to see the direction that my God is taking me! But maybe after our search for answers & explanations, we still are left in no man's land! Maybe God is trying to tell us something in that search! Maybe he's telling us to have the patience to wait upon him and have faith that it'll all make sense one day but in his time.
At that point, it becomes so difficult to understand and accept that there is no blemish in God's plan for us! We start to ask ourselves then, "Haven't we been spending so much time in prayer with God to seek to do the will of God?" But maybe we are on the right track! All we need is to continue to spend time in prayer to seek to do the will of God! And that the present experience you are struggling with, is just something that MUST happen for you to enter into a better place with God which probably what we really desire & want in our hearts!
For the ones that seek God always, there is 1 fact that remains true.
"There is no blemish in God's plan for you if you are always earnestly seeking to do the will of God in your life!"
Some experiences and events must happen! And the more we try to suppress or escape from it, the more we are telling God we don't want to do his will in our lives! For us, we (including myself) always forget that God doesn't look at the world or its events & experiences the way humans and the world looks at it. God knows what the final outcome would be like. Hence, God wouldn't panic because God himself knows that he is in control of everything! In moments like these, where no matter how much we fight, we are called to just let go and have faith that God is in control.
And no matter how young or old, inexperienced or experienced, spiritual or not-so-spiritual, we will still go through such experiences where we must faith to believe that, "There is no blemish in God's plan for you if you are always earnestly seeking to do God's will from your hearts!"
For those in really confused or devastating situation, both in your life and/or spiritual journey with God, pray for faith & patience! I've been through such moments and I'm still going through such moments where there doesn't seem to be the light of Jesus in your tunnel of darkness! But there is! Its just that you can't see it yet! But just cling onto the cross of jesus and unite your struggles & sufferings with Jesus!
Its gets better when we claim in the faith we have in Jesus that,
"There is no blemish in God's plan for you if you are always earnestly seeking to do the will of God in your life!"
