Fishing With Expectations: Awaiting Miracles
Awakening the Inner Light to Reveal Your True Essence
There are moments when truth arrives quietly, not to inform us, but to transform us. In the stillness of honest reflection, what once felt heavy begins to reveal its hidden grace.
Sacred Reflections is a space for deeper spiritual insight. Here, we contemplate the movements of the soul, the lessons within adversity, and the quiet guidance of divine presence in everyday life.
Each message invites you to listen more closely to what is unfolding within.
When I was a child, I remember going fishing on the Paraná River. Everyone around me used small or medium hooks. They caught fish constantly. Catfish were abundant, easy, predictable. But I always insisted on using the largest hooks, because my heart was set on one thing: the dorado, the most coveted fish in those waters.
Most people thought it was unrealistic. They lived in what was available. They accepted what was common. Meanwhile, I stood there with what seemed like a broken compass, refusing to adjust to ordinary outcomes.
et Jesus said we must become like little children. Not childish, but innocent. Open. Expectant. Unashamed to believe in what others call impossible.
What if that compass was never broken?
What if it was a divine beacon, pointing beyond the immediate reality and toward a destiny not yet visible?
The absence of dorados was not failure. It was timing. It was the universe waiting, bending slowly toward a miracle that could not be forced but only received in the right season.
How many times have we settled for the catfish because they were easy to catch? How often have we compromised our faith because the miracle took too long?
God’s will is never limited by what is abundant today. The dorado may not appear on our schedule, but it exists in His.
Watching this boy fish reminded me: if we do not believe in miracles, we will never recognize them. And if we do not await them, we will never receive them.
Keep fishing with the large hooks. Some promises require patience. Some destinies require innocence. And some miracles only come to those who never stopped believing.
