Hidden Graces.. Behind the Veils of Destiny
How often do crises and tribulations cross our path in life's journey—trials we mistake for encircling darkness, tasting the bitterness of loss or pain, and spending an entire lifetime without ever grasping the hidden wisdom behind them!
In the Wise Revelation, we were granted a glimpse into the ultimate outcome: we came to know why the ship was damaged, why the boy was slain, and why the wall was rebuilt. We realized with the eye of certainty that behind every tribulation lies a subtle grace, and within the folds of every brokenness rests a profound restoration.
Yet, what of the owners of the ship? What of the boy's parents? And what of the two orphans?
Those pure souls lived their lives and passed away without ever perceiving a trace of that wisdom! They departed this world unaware that what befell them was nothing short of pure goodness steered toward them by destiny, and the secret remained veiled from them until they met their Lord.
Such is our condition today; painful decrees may cross our paths in life—decrees we perceive as sweeping evil, causing us to grieve and ache. Indeed, an entire lifetime may pass while we still do not know: "Why did this happen to us?"
Yet, it suffices us to hold firm to the certainty that Divine Providence is far greater and more merciful, and that the graces destiny conceals from us are infinitely more beautiful than what meets our eyes!
