A Flood Of Joy!

Before I begin, I wish to say thank you to Rhonda Byrne and her team for blessing humanity with the knowledge of the power of love. It is my prayer that it will continue to bless others, revealing to the world that we are blessed with a life that is meant to be lived in abundance, joy, health, and love, yet even if I am still young, I’ve realized that love is what is most important in life. Without love, we have nothing, and “the Power” even confirmed that!
These last few days, I’ve been continually reading The Secret success testimonies that have been written here, and I must say, it really helps to see that there are people who are living The Secret and who share it, knowing it inspires and uplifts others in faith. It is amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep it up, folks!
A few months ago, I met this guy at school. From the first time I placed my eyes on him, I somehow knew there was just something about him, and to cut that part short, we went out together, and I was very happy to have him in my life. He said he was, too. Thank God! Yet, there were moments when I would be by myself and worry, thinking, “What if this?” and “What if that?” because somewhere in my heart, I thought he was too good to be true. I also became very possessive with my emotions towards him, and I knew it was not healthy.
After a few weeks, I noticed a change in him because he became less of the man I had gotten to know, and he also stopped contacting me. I worried a lot, asking him what was wrong, yet as much as I tried to reach out to him, the more he pulled away. This taught me a lesson for life. It was no accident, and it was because of what I was continually thinking and feeling.
During my moments of distress, for many few days, I would go home and cry to God because I realized I was losing him. But each time I spoke to God, it would renew my strength. Each time, there was a voice whispering, “It is not over yet.” Yet, as two months passed by, I did not see much of a difference. A few times I tried contacting him, but ended up failing. I got to know through one of his friends that he said it was over between us. Yet even as I heard that, a voice in me continued to say, “It is not over yet.” This drove me. A lot.
Every day, I would pray for him, and one day, I remembered a book my dad had given me a year earlier called The Power. I read how I had to love someone in order to “attract them,” and I realized I was not really loving him because I kept looking at the negative parts of him. How was I supposed to receive love if I was not truly giving him love? I also learned the importance of forgiveness and letting go of all the bitterness and anger in order to receive one’s blessing. Many days, I would think, “I can’t believe he left me,” and such, and it just drove me further away from him, not closer. This made a lot of sense to me because, folks, if we have negative feelings towards anyone, it always ends up hurting us.
During these four months, sometimes my faith would waver, but I always ended up with renewed strength after praying. Something kept telling me that there was more to this, and I just had to pray, visualize, and be grateful, and then let it go. I learned that letting it go means trusting the Universe to carry out your wishes. Letting it go means having faith that you really have no need to worry or wonder. Letting it go is actually just believing. So, I made my wish and let it go.
Today, I just cannot yet comprehend what has happened. I woke up feeling depressed. I prayed to God. Then I felt a whim to sleep in the middle of the day. As I was half asleep, I suddenly felt this flood of joy washing over me, and it did not just happen by my own strength. I woke up half an hour later and checked my phone. There, I saw a text from him. And he had not written to me or sent me a text in four months! I just started crying! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wow! The Secret and the law of attraction are real! Hahaha! He later on asked me if we could meet tomorrow! Wow! While this might seem like a small thing to some people, when you wish for something with all of your heart, it means the world to you.
I still continue to walk by faith. But I have learned so much in this process. Whoever you are, let me tell you that you are no exception in experiencing life in a truly extraordinary way. Four months might seem like a long time, but sometimes it just depends on how much unwavering faith you have. How much do you really believe? You see, the word believe literally means being fully convinced without a shadow of a doubt! So how much do you believe?
Another thing is that sometimes we may feel too weak and tired to have faith when we do not see any results. But when you pass through a moment like that, please take time to pray to God or the Universe to renew your strength and faith. Sometimes, I really need ‘supernatural’ help in order to keep going. And oh, how the Universe has kept me going! After all, this taught me so much about what true love is all about patience, selflessness, and forgiveness.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
