He’s not going to let you miss it… (your blessing)

I called my Muslim friend yesterday to thank her for something that she had said to me a couple weeks ago. She had explained to me that in Islam, there is a deeply rooted belief that you will not miss your blessings from God. In other words, whatever blessings God has for YOU, He loves you too much to let you miss what He has for you.

I have since found many representations of this sentiment in the Bible, but I just wanted to thank her for SHAREing. I feel like modern Christianity has mistakenly portrayed God as “conditional”, at times. I needed to hear that He loves us too much to let us “miss it” so badly. I struggle with wondering if I’m “doing enough” for God sometimes and when I suffer or experience scarcity, I wonder if I missed my blessing and that’s why I’m without.

I called her yesterday…. But she was swamped with work and just had a chance to call me back tonight. I had just gotten to my small group meeting so I just quickly told her how much it meant to know that God loves me too much for me to “miss it”. I just wanted to thank her so much for sharing that with me because it has really been helping me with a hard time.

She goes “I needed to hear that today, too, I guess. Maybe that’s why I wasn’t able to call back yesterday. The Lord knew I needed that reminder today. Thank you so much for sharing that”. lol. Isn’t that incredible? God said the same thing to me a couple of weeks ago through her… now, fast forward to tonight and He’s using me to remind her of the message that she had delivered to me… because now it’s HER that needed to hear it…

He didn’t let either of us “miss it”. You get it?
