Dios no te da al que quieres, te da al que necesitas

Todos pensamos que somos los que sabemos lo que nos conviene, y tú no eres una excepción.

I’m sure you have it all figured it out and are convinced your life would be absolutely perfect if circumstances would just allow it.

However, things don’t always go as smoothly as you’d like them to. And you can’t help but wonder why this is so.

Why do bad things happen to good people, even though they’ve done nothing to deserve them?

Sometimes you wish for something or someone so bad, but you can’t seem to get it.

This is especially the case with love—you want that one person, thinking they’re the right one for you, convinced that they’re the only one who can make you happy.

You do everything by the book, and you play all of your cards just right, but somehow, you’re always one step far from them.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get this person to be yours, despite your desires.

Precisamente por eso quiero que pienses en todas esas veces que perdiste a alguien, pensando que era lo peor que te podía pasar.

I want you to remember each one of your breakups and heartbreaks and how they all made you think it’s the end of the world.

Entonces, quiero que recuerdes todas las veces en las que, más adelante en la vida, te diste cuenta de que en realidad deberías estar agradecido de que alguien tóxico se alejara de tu vida y todas las veces en las que perder a ese alguien resultó ser lo mejor que te podía pasar.

Todas esas veces en las que tus experiencias dolorosas se convirtieron en las lecciones de vida más valiosas que te hicieron convertirte en la persona que eres hoy.

Así que.., en lugar de rezar a Dios para que te dé la persona que crees que quieres, reza por la que realmente necesitas, sin ni siquiera ser consciente de ello.

I know that things don’t always seem this way but trust me on this—God always has an agenda which is often beyond our reach and comprehension.

Tiene la sincronización perfecta, and He always knows what’s best for us.

I assure you that He will send you the person who is just right for you—the one who will heal all of your emotional bruises and scars and the one who will repair all of your broken parts the moment you become ready to welcome and appreciate them.

Sí, primero te enviará a alguien que te haga daño, alguien que te decepcione o alguien que te haga pedazos.

However, each one of these people has a purpose in your life—to teach you something, to make you stronger and better, to help you grow and make you the person you are meant to be.

Just remember that every stepping rock you found on your way wasn’t there to hold you back or to put you down.

It was there to teach you how to move forward despite the obstacles. All the challenges you faced weren’t curses.

Eran bendiciones y tenían significados más profundos.

Recuerda que Dios eligió a todos los que se cruzaron en el camino de tu vida por una razón mayor.

Cada una de estas personas fue sólo una prueba para ti y una preparación para la persona que te mereces.

Y cuando esta persona que es destinado a ser tuyo finalmente entra en tu vida, tendrán todo lo que estabas buscando desde el principio sin ni siquiera saberlo.

No, they won’t be perfect, but they will be perfectly imperfect for you. And that is more than enough.

Don’t get me wrong—this is not me advising you to give up on your life and to expect destiny to miraculously change everything for the better without you having to move an inch.

I’m just asking you to have a little more faith that things will fall into place when you least expect them to.

I’m asking you to remember that there is always a good side to every bad situation and that sometimes, just because you don’t know why something happened, it doesn’t mean it didn’t have a deeper reason.

To remember that everything happens for a bigger cause and never lose hope that God will send you the one who’s best for you.

I’m asking you not to fall into despair every time you don’t get someone you set your mind on because trust me—that is for your own good.

Recordar que todas tus luchas son bendiciones disfrazadas y a no perder nunca la fe en Dios.
