It had been a very difficult week for him. As a dedicated and responsible businessman, he faced multiple complications in the small organization which already had more than two decades of existence.
After another sleepless night, one of those we stay awake all night trying to find solutions to our problems, he took his youngest daughter - five at the time - to school. The girl's joy made him forget, for a few moments, all the battles that awaited him. A brief rest for that warrior soul.
They stopped the car and and as always he took her to the entrance of the educational institution. They were going to say goodbye when she suddenly burst into tears and hugged him tightly.
She never complains about going to school, he thought. What happened?
After a few moments, unable to speak, she said to him: Daddy, I want to go to work with you! - And continued to embrace him still in tears. He understood the reason for weeping, and he was also moved. Even without him saying what was going on inside her, she had realized that her beloved father's heart was sad.
Not knowing how to express her desire to help, to make him happy again, to comfort him, she proposes to go to work with him.
What a beautiful and simple expression of love. That type of love which wants to see those around us well, happy and in peace.
And what could be more pure than a child's expression, saying to his father: I'm here, I want to help, don't be like this.
Invisible vibrations
We radiate everything that goes into our soul without even realizing. We may try to hide behind the silence but we emit invisible vibrations constantly and those sensitive enough can capture it. Those who love us, who care about us, are attentive, and willing to help will certainly do.
And yet, on many occasions, the Divine Providence makes use of those around us to send us advices, friendly words and issues of affection.
Yes, the Creator speaks to us in the most different ways possible. It is up to us to know how to hear Him.
In the daughter's proposal mentioned earlier, perhaps it was God's embrace saying: I know that the battles are many, and that sometimes you feel weak, helpless. But know that you are not alone. Those who love you, in My name, are at your side.
There is no victory without a battle. There is no conquest without fights. The warrior who deserves rest and triumph is one who stands firm, and who follows through.
Final Thoughts
At the same time that we are surrounded by challenges and struggles, we are supported by the love of Divine Laws. We are never abandoned, although we often think that our struggle is lonely. We can count on the safe haven of the family, on the true friendships, and have the confidence that everything will end well.
Let us try to always tune in to the highest spiritual planes, through positive thoughts and sincere prayer, so that we can more easily receive the necessary assistance. Let us observe life around us. Do not allow ourselves to close in the lonely caves of distress, anxiety, and self-terrorism.
The many fights will be worth it. Be sure of that.
And for those who think that life is made up of uncertainties and easily despair, here's another comforting certainty - we can always count on our loves.
