~ Why Does it Always Have to be Me? ~

As we search Allah (SWT) in the situations of life,
we find spiritual lessons have a way of
getting to the heart of the matter.
After a number of them, human nature causes us to ask,
"Why does it always have to be me?"
When we have a really bad day,
we may notice Allah (SWT)reminding that
we neglected to spend quality time with Him.
When trials come our way,
we may recognize Allah (SWT)
encouraging us to keep our eyes on Him.
When we think someone neglecting their service,
we may observe Allah (SWT) sending another
(as He's the one who calls people to do His will).
When we have this awesome plan,
yet Allah (SWT) chooses otherwise,
we may see Allah (SWT) teaching how our desires
get in the way of His perfect will.
When we try to help one wayward, misguided,
or heading for disaster (to no avail) -
we may learn when to shake the dust off our feet.
When we falter, we may experience Allah (SWT)grace.
When our decisions flop,
we may hear Allah (SWT) whispering,
"In all things, seek me first."
When everything we touch falls apart,
we may receive Allah (SWT) promise
that He has everything under control.
When misunderstood,
we may receive Allah (SWT)comforting assurance
that He understands.
When there is no one else to turn to,
we may find our best friend in Allah (SWT)
When we face all our fears,
Allah (SWT) may want us to know that all we ever longed for
and all we will ever need is found in Him.
Once we realize that Allah (SWT) only wants to love us,
perhaps we can begin looking forward to the lessons,
knowing we are on our way to glory

and change our question to,
"Why not me?"

Seek ye first His righteousness ...

For, if we would judge ourselves,
we should not be judged.
