Do Not Despair.

Assalam alaikum,
Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remained closed, God Almighty will open a new path only for you. Be thankful. It is easy to be thankful when all is well. A Sufi is thankful not only for what he has been given, but also for all that he has been denied.

Patience does not mean to passively endure. It also means to be far sighted enough.....to trust the end result of a process. Patience means looking at the thorn and see the rose thereby; to look at the night and see the dawn. And impatience means to be short-sighted as to not be able to see the outcome of a process. Lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full. Think about this!!

Many Regards.
