Deus não te dá a pessoa que queres, mas a que precisas

Todos nós pensamos que somos nós que sabemos o que é melhor para nós, e você não é exceção.

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.

É exatamente por isso que quero que penses em todas as vezes que perdeste alguém, pensando que era a pior coisa que te podia acontecer.

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.

Depois, quero que te lembres de todas as vezes em que, mais tarde na vida, te apercebeste que devias estar grato por alguém tóxico se ter afastado da tua vida e de todas as vezes em que perder esse alguém acabou por ser a melhor coisa que te podia acontecer.

Todos aqueles momentos em que as suas experiências dolorosas se transformaram nas mais valiosas lições de vida que o tornaram na pessoa que é hoje.

Então, em vez de rezar a Deus para que lhe dê a pessoa que pensa que quer, reze apenas por aquela de que realmente precisa, sem sequer ter consciência disso.

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.

Ele tem um timing perfeito, 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.

Sim, primeiro Ele vai enviar-te alguém para te magoar, alguém para te desiludir ou alguém para te esmagar em pedaços.

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.

Eram bênçãos e tinham significados mais profundos.

Lembre-se que Deus escolheu todas as pessoas que cruzaram o seu caminho por uma razão maior.

Cada uma dessas pessoas foi apenas um teste para si e uma preparação para a pessoa que merece.

E quando essa pessoa que é destinado a ser teu finalmente entrar na sua vida, eles terão tudo o que sempre procurou sem sequer o saber.

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.

Lembrar que todas as vossas lutas são bênçãos disfarçadas e nunca perder a fé em Deus.
