Congratulations! By Jodekss

It is not easy to rejoice with a neighbour instantly who gets what you have been longing for just like that. Hundreds of questions beginning with ‘why’ or ‘how’ would run through your head in a matter of few seconds before you could congratulate the fellow. At times you just turn back and leave in regret, confusion, hatred, envy as you do not understand why yours is so difficult to do already. That is nature for you. That is human for you. Feelings like such in such an occasion can be said to be automatic for everyone in your situation out of frustration.

There are some principles about life though you seem to have taken for granted which are eye opener on how things work under the sun from the beginning of time and yet. Understanding these principles would not allow you to dwell too long in these negative thoughts at any point in time –they will keep you in good position to receive your own long awaited blessings. The more you reflect on negativities like those, the more they spread and make matter worse. Don’t you dwell in them!

There is appropriate time for everyone. There is season for everything. There is the appropriate time for night to come and go and for day to come and go. The two should not come together or go together at the same time. Just as it will be very odd for everyone in the world to be born at the same time –imagine how uneven everything will look like if it is like that. If what you need so much has not reached you yet, that does not mean yours is not on the way. That does not mean your sins are the worst in the history of humanity. That may not mean you are not prayerful enough. When what you want or need reaches your neighbour first, it is not a sign that yours will not reach you later. It would definitely. The only difference is that just as it has been conditioned for day to come then night so as it, for you. The person’s blessing is to come first, then yours later in time.

Dwelling too long in poor feelings will shift your position from receiving at your own appropriate time. This is just like as we snooze alarm farther in time on our cell phones. If/when your neighbour gets what you have been crying in the open and in the closet for, walk up to such, rejoice with or congratulate such wholeheartedly. Don’t do fake congratulations please! Do it from the bottom of your heart having understood your season is close by in good faith –when the person you congratulated would have no choice but to congratulate you too out of awe.

Most times we shy away from wishing others well when they actually have a quarter of the blessings on the way to us and because we do that, the blessings become someone else’s and we are back to square one. How long must we continue to live like this –with attitudes that keep pooling backwards our blessings? Find it easy to rejoice with your neighbour; even if out of arrogance the person feels s/he has the best of blessings. If you have rejoiced truly, yours might just be better.
