You cried when He took away ...

You cried when He took away your drop of water, not knowing He\'d saved for you, the sea.
You cried when He took away your drop of water, not knowing He'd saved for you, the sea.

Quotes from the same author

Everything we do is motivated by love. Even fear and hate are born of love. So be careful what you love.
 Yasmin Mogahed
Be careful about wanting what others have. There is always a price. Perhaps God didn’t give it to you, because He knew you wouldn’t be able to pay it.
 Yasmin Mogahed
So often it hurts us that we are not able to focus in our prayers. Remember, the more you focus on Allah outside your salah, the easier it will be to focus on Him inside your salah. What occupies you in salah, is what occupies you outside of salah. Try to fill your mind and heart with Allah as much as you can throughout your day. Talk to Him, make duaa to Him constantly. This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
 Yasmin Mogahed
When someone hurts you, your first thought may be to wish you had never met them at all. But remember that even those who've hurt you, came into your life for a reason, and left for a reason. It’s for the best and healing starts with acceptance.
 Yasmin Mogahed
Hope shouldn’t increase with good deeds and decrease with sin. In good deeds, my hope is for Allah to accept. In sin, my hope is for Allah to forgive.
