Hello, dear one!
Do you remember what your parents and teachers told you about your efforts? If you want something good in life, you have to work hard to obtain it. No pain; no gain.
Is it true?
Then you looked around and noticed a few injustices:
The young men who charmed hard didn’t get the girl. The football player who trained five times harder didn’t make it to the final team. The co-worker who had less experience and credentials surpassed you for a promotion.
What happened?
Perhaps the story of Fritz Kreisler and his violin will answer the question.
Kreisler is regarded as one of the best violinists in the history of world music.
During the 40s, Kreisler was strolling New York City one day, and he was captured by the exquisite beauty of a violin from a store window on 48th Street.
He went into the store and asked the storekeeper how much it would cost to purchase this violin. Kreisler was astonished by the astronomical asking price.
After thinking for a few minutes, he asked the storekeeper, “I will gather my supporters for a loan, and this will take a few days. Can you hold this violin for me?” But the storekeeper couldn’t promise as the store rule was first to come and first serve.
Kreisler immediately followed up with the funds and came back to the music shop with the required money.
However, the storekeeper disappointed him as a wealthy collector in town had purchased the violin.
Kreisler didn’t give up and asked, “May I have his contact information because he may agree to sell it to me?”
After obtaining the collector’s address, Kreisler visited the wealthy collector.
The collector told him that he had no intention to sell this violin.
Upon leaving the apartment, as Kreisler open the door, he turned back and asked the collector, “Before I leave, may I play one song with it?” The collector agreed.
Kreisler picked up the violin and began playing. The collector was mesmerized by the Divine unity between Kreisler and the violin; they were a match to each other and belonged together.
When the music ended, the collector told Kreisler, “If I keep this violin, it will be on the wall. But if you play this violin, you’ll touch the hearts of thousands of people.”
He sold the violin to Kreisler.
Kreisler brought many magic moments to the public with that violin. This violin was heavenly assigned to Kreisler.
The Bible also told a story of assignment on apostle Paul’s citizenship.
While preaching the gospel in Rome, Paul was arrested and ordered to be beaten. Paul asked the officer, “Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn’t even been found guilty (Acts 22:25)?” This got the officer’s attention, and reported to his commander.
In those days, Roman citizenship was prestige, and the commander envied Paul because he paid a high price for his.
However, Paul was born a Roman citizen. It was his assignment at birth, effortlessly.
If the thing you desire is your assignment, it will be Divinely guided to you. If not, you’ll lose it even when you think you’ve got it.
The same goes for a person you desire.
