There's no manual for life. (I'm sorry to my Christian brothers and sisters, I know you will say the Bible is the manual for life. And I wouldn't agree with you more. But what I need you to understand is right now I am writing this as secular person, since we all are heaven's citizens (Christians) but we are also secular citizens as well to some certain extent since we are still living in this secular world).For having said that and as I was saying there is no manual for life. No single person can come forward and be bold and say "Hey, I have figured out how life works and this is how it works". Nope, it has come to my attention that even those we look up to and think they've got it, they haven't got it. I don't want to sound New Agish but I have realized that life is like a school or this big lesson and we are all just learners. So what am I saying? Do I mean there are no five steps to riches, ten things you must do to be happy, 100 things you must do to attract the lover of your life? Nope that's not what I'm saying. I believe strongly in principles and I am a strong believer in spiritual and natural laws. They are there, God put them out there for a reaso when He formed the universe and yes they work for anyone no matter what gender, age race, creed you are. E.g You reap what you sow. Who lives by the sword will die by the sword. Give it shall be given unto you (the same major you use to others it shall be used back to you). What goes up must come down. We can't escape that, those are spiritual and natural laws, they work for anyone who put them into motion.
However sometimes God decides to deal with each individual differently, so we cannot put everyone in the same box and think God will deal with us the same. Yes God is unchanging, He's the same yesterday, today and forever and He's no respecter of any person or He doesn't have favorites (even though sometimes I feel like I am His favourite). God loves us the same. He doesn't love the saint more than He loves the sinner. If we think that way, then His love wouldn't be unconditional, would it? But it would be based on our merits and what we have done for Him to love usdont you think, and would we still call that Agape?
But I think His methods on how He deals with us are not the same. That's why you should never make a mistake and compare yourself to anyone else. Because God's purpose for my life and yours they not the same, they totally different. Maybe God would allow me to be betrayed by my brothers, sold to slavery, accused wrongly and be thrown into prison first before I rise to power ( read the story of Joseph). You on the other hand, your fathers donkey gets missing, while you out there looking for them, you meet a prophet and he anoints your body and tells you God had chosen you to be king over His nation, no betrayal, no prison, no struggles. Your kingship is handed to you un a silver plater (read the story of Saul).
Is God unfair by doing that? Nope, God is God. He chooses what to do, who to do with, when and where to do it. Our job is to obey, and by the way He made us for Him, we were not made for Him for us (I hope that makes sense).
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.Proverbs 21:1
Seek God's face if you want to know the will for your life, ask for His divine guidance if there's a decision you need to make. It's good to seek other people's counsel, but keep it at the back of your mind that man is man, his abilities are limited, so is his knowledge, understanding and wisdom. He can counsel or guide you to the extent of his knowledge and wisdom. But God is unlimited - He can do exceedingly, more abundantly what you can imagine or ask.
