Why me..!

I WONDERED what example to give for today’s piece when I remembered something that happened to me in which I too cried out, “Why me?” It happened some years ago when my wife and I had driven down to the sea side with a group of friends for a holiday.
One morning we decided we would go down to the wharf and buy crabs. We bought the crabs from Alibaug and were returning in a Maruti van when a state transport bus stopped in front of me. I saw that most of the people in the bus were getting off and switched off engine and waited. Suddenly the bus started reversing and reversed right onto my van. It happened in a moment and the next second I was sitting in my seat with the bus nearly on my lap, windshield smashed, pedals twisted and dashboard broken.
I got out, luckily unhurt looked up and whispered with tears, “Why me Lord? There must be thousands asking this same question everyday. “Why me?” when they suddenly lose job, when sickness attacks, when jilted in live, “Why me? “Why me? “Why me?”
Arthur Ashe the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS through a blood transfusion. From around the world he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: “Why did God have to select you for such a bad disease?”
To this Arthur replied: The world over-50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million finally learn to play tennis. 500,000 learn professional tennis. 50,000 come to the circuit. 5000 reach the Grand Slam. 128 reach Wimbledon. 4 to the semi- final and 2 to the final.
When I finally held the cup, I never asked God, “Why me?” And today in pain, I should not be asking God, “why me?” I go back to the accident I had with the Maruti van. When I looked up and shouted “Why me?” had I already forgotten other wonderful picnics with sea and sand where I had spent lovely times with the wife and kids. There were pieces of glass all over me but not a scratch, did I ever look up and whisper, “Thank you God for saving my life.” No, I didn’t. Two days ago I spent sad moments at funeral of a friend’s wife.
When he saw me, he wept on my shoulder, “Why me Bob?” he sobbed, “Why me?” I didn’t say anything I just grieved with him. But when I meet him again, which I will, I plan to tell him to remember all the happy times he spent with her.
The wedding, the honeymoon, the day their daughter was born, the day his daughter entered medical school, so many lovely incidents, which he can now recollect and say, “if I can accept all the good things Lord, I accept even this..!”

Devil whispered in my ear ' you're not strong enough to withstand the storm ' .

Today I whispered in devil's ear ' I'm the strom' .



When we're hit by calamity , our first instinct is to cry ' why me . ?
But the amazing fact is that this calamity was not intended to anyone else but you . You were not on the wrong place at the wrong time .
It wasn't an accident that could've been avoided , it was intended for you , a blow to land where it should be landed, by the one who knows you more than yourself and knows what you can or cannot handle .

Our calamaties , they're custom designed , 'couture ' trials tailor made for us by the one who know our dimensions and our fits perfectly. And how could he not , when he fashioned us and graced us with every gift we enjoy . ?

Those who are struggling : it's a true fact that every single of us is facing a hardship . Don't get deceived by plastic masks and plastered smiles.
Some struggles may seem very hard and some simplistic . But never lose the sight of fact that Allah has given you a custom made trial that fits your ability to bear it .
Even when as we struggle , and keep our heads above the crashing waves of heartbreak and pain , don't even despair .
Allah swt knows how strong and capable you are
, so how can you doubt your own strength ?

One must hold belief that these calamaties and trials are not forever . This all is just temporary and are intended for you for a reason .
It's just dark days who proved how strong you are ,
I've been in those dark days , still struggling but you know what's the sweetest part of this trial ? The intense feeling of closeness to Almighty , I've noticed this feeling at my worst times . Above all, when I could feel my lord talking to me and giving me strength when I felt it was my end .
To call out and cry to the one who really cares and who can truly solve your burden . We're trialed to reach the destination that was meant for us .
Your Lord is your pure love .

Don't get scared of trials , they're meant for you for a reason .
