Have your expectations ever been violated?
Has someone ever used your weakness as leverage?
Has it ever happeed that a person you trusted blindly shattered this trust?
Have you waited forever for a simple ‘sorry’, only to be disappointed?
Our expectations are meant to be broken. How would we return back to Him if everyone met our expectations? No one is perfect and no one will ever be. There would be betrayals, let downs, malice and what not. For me, these are little reminders to shift my expectations towards Him only.
Think of being hurt as a sharp jolt. It provides an opportunity to break the idols we create so frequently on the foundations of high expectations from people. What do we get? Harshness, indifference, rejections. If we don’t wash away these poisons that we consume daily, it would leave us emotionally exhausted. Use these disappointments to re-center your focus to Him.
حسبي الله و نعم الوكيل
