"Sometimes we ask for sunshine, God takes it away and put storms in place of it.
We cry and be desolate and ask where the sun has gone, when all these while, God had wanted us to see the rainbow after the storm."


A very meaningful quote.


A very nicely-thought quote.




A quote that I'm starting to get sick of.

Why?

Because people are overusing it. Its novelty is gone. With everywhere I go, I see the same quote over and over again, albeit with some changes to it. And you know what irks me most?

Its the fact that most, if not all of them. JUST SEEM TO FOCUS ON THE RAINBOW.

So? Why is that wrong? Whats wrong with focusing on the Rainbow when its a sign of hope for everyone?

No, there's nothing wrong with the rainbow. Hell, I like rainbows too. They're colourful and reminds me of paddle pop ice cream but whats wrong is when we are too focused on the rainbow itself to actually understand the whole meaning of the quote.

Point is, why Allah has us go through all those storms and obstacles is NOT to see the rainbow. Its for us to learn something from it. THATS why He made obstacles in front of us. THATS why He has us go through all that. The rainbow at the end of it, its not an objective for us. IT IS A REWARD.

Understand that. The rainbow is meant to be a reward, a reward for those who persevered through the storm, for those who stayed resilient through it. For those who at every step of the way during the storm, never once. And I repeat again, NEVER ONCE , turned away from Him because He took away the sun.

So think twice before you cry about not getting to the rainbow.


You know Lord, I couldn't care less about the rainbow anymore. I couldn't care less much about the sun anymore. You know what Lord, I just want this storm to stop. Or lessen. I'm tired, Lord. I know I told You that it doesn't matter how harsh the storm would be, I would still not turn away from You and yes, I hold to that. But Lord, I'm tired. I just am. Please make the storm lessen or stop kie? I don't mind if there are no rainbows or the sun doesn't come out. Just make it stop, Lord. I'm tired. I want abit of reprieve. Just a bit will do.



I can try to hide it all I want

I can try to tell myself that its going to be okay

But the truth is, this heart doesn't lie

Especially when-

No.

No no no no no.

Let it be.

Let it be left unsaid. Let me hurt. Let me feel the pain.

I will gladly bear it.

After all...






To hold a rose and fully appreciate its beauty, one must bear with it, thorns and all.


Even if the thorns hurt you.
