Abi'l-Khayr
WOW!! I just read Abi’l- Khayr and it was pretty amazing! The whole first page is true its exactly how it happens. I have had times in my life where I thought I was pleasing God and doing what he wanted me to do… Turns out as soon as I thought I was all great and amazing I got knocked down and it was by God. He humbles people that what he is really good at. He showed me it wasn’t me doing the good things I was doing yet it was Him working through me I was just his tool and he was the engineer. Also the whole thing about how we feel good when “I Love people” and you think you can tolerate and love people for who they are on you own power and maybe with a little bit of Gods help… well I had that wrong too at times. Its funny to see how much I cant do without God I need His love and forgiveness in order to love and accept those around me. The other interesting part about this was the no right to say mine or I… when it comes down to it all everything good you do say or create is Gods by right.

I wrote almost the same thing that you did about the first page. It was my life as I was humbly removed from almost every asset I had. I like your analogy about you being the tool and God being the engineer. I relate my life experiences to me riding a tandam bicycle with God pedaling the back position. I attempt to steer the handlebars and look back asking which way to go and God instructs me to keep pedaling while he whispers to me: Genie, you will know.
ReplyDeleteMy bicycle won't crash if I listen and obey my navigator and avoid doing things my way.
