It’s more a pity. I don’t believe in “curse”.

Well, If it is a blessing it has always to do with GOD, so if you reject to him, what is life? I believe that is the curse, living without knowing all GOD’s everyday blessing..like breath fresh air or remember the smell of love…

For some strange reason this reminded me of the Chinese fable, ” good or bad, who knows?”

I find that sometimes I dare not accept a blessing for fear of disappointment; I am sometimes afraid to trust a blessing for fear of it being taken away. I know that by doing that and by rejecting a blessing I am standing still or, indeed, going backwards; I am guarding myself against the unknown, I guess, it’s a self- defense mechanism, a kind of protection as it’s “better the devil you know than the devil you don’t”…
maybe…
until you understand and dare accept and are blessed and set free.

Tengo Fe en Dios y creo que solo nos da bendiciones. Y dentro de mi concepto personal de Él no creo que consintiera que nosotros convirtéramos en maldición una bendición por rechazarla. Pienso en un padre o en una madre castigando a un bebé, ninguno de ellos seria tan duro en su castigo hacia un hijo. Siento que Dios es perdón y misericordia. Nada merece la pena si no hay Amor. Nada. Ni siquiera aquello que creamos una bendición.

i dont know ..what to say to it ..but one thing i am sure of … if the blessing is rejected by one it is surely because .. he is not ..able to understand whether it is one ….blessing …. afterall people are very careful to recognise blessings they are a part of miracles and who doesnt want them in their lives …. but yeah if rejected it becomes a curse only if life doesnt give .. one a fair chance to expalin that it was a blessing so that next time when it happens he doesnt reject it …away with ignorance …..

Be accepting of your gifts, even if sometimes bearing a special “gift” makes your life more difficult ( you may see it sometimes more as a curse than an actual gift)

A blessing always comes from God, it’s a special gift given with love.
It’s a sign, one should welcome.
Accepting it, is the only way to show appreciation and love we have for God.
Rejection is something we just can’t afford to do, because it means luck of understanding to God’s good intentions and wisdom.
It means luck of faith, luck of love, and without love…there’s nothing,
nothing good, anyway.

love
Agnieszka
