I Earned Yearly Income Within Three Weeks of Serving God
Here is how it happened and step by step of what I did
Here is how it happened and step by step of what I did
I initially published the article, Rest and Let God Do the Work for Your Finances which triggered interest in many people.
As we live in a physical world, I understand that you may need a solid story to make peace of your mind about how that happened, and what did I do to be blessed financially. I am going to give you more in detail.
May this story opens your heart to new possibilities of living an abundant and fulfilling life, not in the future, but right now.
Who was I and what did I do for a living in the past?
I was an ordinary woman who followed the social norm to the core. I studied hard and worked hard with a strong blind belief that if I want something I need to work for it.
I was granted a scholarship in Engineering and graduated with a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering.
My education prepped the rose petal path to my career. I got a dream job (of many people) and earned triple income compared with my peers. I started off very well and grew gradually.
I could afford a comfortable life, house, car, holidays, and the great experiences I have ever wished for. Within a few years, I got the same pay as my dad, who was working for three decades as a manager.
It appeared like I got my life figured out, but let me admit honestly, I had never felt enough and accepted as who I was. I had so much fear. I was making every effort to get better and have full control of my life, thinking it would sort out all the problems.
Therefore, I started off a wellness business in parallel. With hard work, I eventually was able to jump into it full-time.
All in all, I had been working crazy hard for the last fifteen years and yet missing to grasp that I was running full-time by fear like a puppet moving along the show called LIFE.
The turning point
God knew that I was a stubborn hard working person who would never give up easily and also dumb in many ways. Without a hit on the wall, I would never be able to wake up and live a full life.
After putting my heart and soul into that business and hoping it would be my last nest, I found myself in a moral conflict with my business partners.
It left me with no choice but to quit. I leaned into my boyfriend for comfort, but like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, he suddenly decided to leave me. I was brokenhearted and lost.
After losing a career and a man who validated my value, I was in an extremely emotional stage.
That rock bottom moment was an invitation for me to find the true meaning of who I am and why I am here on earth.
The extreme fear came to the surface because all my identity was around who was I at work and how much I could earn from it.
Without a job, I felt fearful. Without a secure income stream, I felt worthless. It was far from a fear of hunger. I still had enough to live a decent life but what I feared was unreal danger, the feeling of failure.
I did everything to prevent these days to come. Realized later that I was not the one who had control over my life in the end.
Reunited with the Divine
In that dark moment created by the illusion of the mind, there was light.
I cried my heart out and begged for help from something greater than myself.
That was when I found peace in God and built the connection to something beyond the eyes could see.
In God’s presence, I felt complete. I knew who I am.
Some wise man said, “Wisdom comes through suffering.”
I have to admit that there is truth in the statement. In the suffering, there, I surrendered.
How was I receive money?
After I reunited with my beloved God, a miracle happened from a small little thing to money equivalent to a yearly income.
An Oil & Gas stock I invested in which had never given any return more or less than a three percent dividend yearly, suddenly went up two hundred percent.
It got me by surprise that this stock could possibly rise after the oil crisis when the oil price hit rock bottom. (Oil Crisis 2014–2016)
Many of my ex-colleagues got laid off during that period. Only a miracle could explain the sudden drastic increase of that particular stock, which was extremely contrasted with the economic situation. The way I received the message also came in a bizarre yet unimaginable way.
As most of my stocks were extremely low risk, I was not looking often at my investment account. Besides, I already forgot the password to log in to my account but nothing could stop what God had in His plan.
During one ordinary day, I heard the miracle message through the son of my friend. He was probably around five years old and obviously too young to know what the stock market was. He also didn’t tell me about my stock either. He was just speaking alone, as any young kid did.
“The stock is going down.” I heard.
I was not sure what he said. But when I heard it, I felt warm, like comfortable guidance reminding me to take some actions.
Two days after I heard the message from a little boy, I finally recovered my password and successfully logged in to my investment account.
That oil and gas stock price dropped slightly from the previous two days ago, which was the highest price in the last two decades.
I sold almost all of the stock, which was by far my biggest holding. I earned as much as my annual income while I did nothing physically related to a proper job. It was unbelievable, and I felt humble gratitude.
Obviously, that money did not make me become the richest woman in the world, but it gained my trust to surrender to God, the source of all.
Since that day, I learned to let go of my own desires and embrace God’s plan. My life continued to be blessed in so many ways.
Realization of the mission here on earth
Moreover, I got a glimpse of why I am here on earth and what is the true work we are here for, a meaningful work that the world needs right now, more than ever. A work we don’t need to apply for, and we can start right away.
It is to serve Love and allow God to use us as a vehicle of love. It is true salvation and the reward is priceless.
What did I do to be blessed financially?
Then the question you may ask is how? I believe everyone has their own way to share love and allow God to live through us or many may still not quite sure what serving love and letting God use us may look like, let me share with you what exactly I particularly did in that time around. I am sure you will be able to apply it to your life.
1. Let go and offer hatred, anger, and anxiety to God
I happened to come upon a book named “Spark Joy: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo.
There is something unique about Marie’s technique that is unlike any conventional how-to organizing method. There was nothing to do with how to organize, prioritize, or maximize efficiency.
It is all about how the object makes you feel. If it sparks joy, then keep it, if it is not, let it go with gratitude no matter how expensive or valuable things are.
I started to sort out all the items that I don’t need and let go of them. I held each object in my hands and felt them, I kept what sparked me joy and let go with gratitude for anything that didn’t bring joy to my life.
I clearly remember as if it was yesterday when I came upon a piece of old paper. It was a loan agreement that someone promise to return to me but he never did.
I looked at the contract and felt the pain of an unfulfilled promise. The anger which has been held for several years in this small little paper raised. I saw his ugly face in my vision so vividly. The stinking smell of lier made me want to vomit. I ached to smash him with his cheap arrogant words. The hatred rose in me as if I confronted the most disgusting person in the world.
“Let it go, give it to me.” The calm inner voice of the Divine spoke through my heart.
As difficult as it may seem, I leaned into the divine and let go.
Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cared for you (1 Peter 5:7)
I prayed to God to help me release the attachment and forgive from my heart. In God’s presence, everything was possible.
The words came through my mouth, I called this guy's name and said:
“This money you owe me, I give it to you. From this moment onward, there is no more you who own me. From this moment onwards, I am a willing giver, and you are the grateful receiver. From this moment onwards, I let go of attachment, hatred, and anger. I let you free.”
I tore the loan agreement down into small pieces. An inner peace filled my heart. I was no longer a victim of circumstance. I freed him, and I freed myself.
I continued the same process to many other items I kept holding on to, which included the gifts from my ex-partners. I forgave them and thanked them. I gave all to God, the anger, hatred, and disappointment, and I asked for the blessing for all of them. I became so joyful by the end of the process.
Preparing yourself to be the pathway of love requires you to let go of hatred, anger, anxiety, and negative emotions. If you have been hurt by the past, allow your feelings to come to you, feel them, and offer them to God, the Divine, or Consciousness — regardless of the name you would like to choose. Whatever stage you are in, you can little by little let go of those feelings.
We can celebrate these small steps together.
2. Love and be kind to ourselves
As my home was lighter and I have more room to roam around, I started to hear my internal dialogues louder. They were full of blame and pressure. Here was how they were.
What are we going to do now?
How can we deal with money?
What will other people think of us?
Why did you do that?
What if you have never done that in the first place? And so on.
I quickly caught my thoughts. What a brutal companion I was to myself! No one would like to hear those words, especially when I have nothing but myself. Still, I unconsciously say mean things to myself over and over again.
Everyone wishes for the best friends who are sincere and helpful. The ones who encourage us when we are fearful, listen to us without judgment, are quick to forgive, and love us the way we are! The list goes on and on. The question is how good we are as a company to ourselves?
As the Divine’s love penetrated my heart, I started to speak to myself with respect and kindness like a good old friend.
“You have been so faithful and dedicated all your life to working hard in order to provide for us, the family, and other people. Yes, we don’t know what the future will hold for us. Yes, I understand why you are worried, but at this moment, please let me take care of you and let God take care of us. I love you.”
I stopped pressuring myself to have an answer for everything like I used to do. I woke up, read a good book, did some exercise, and ate well. I took my inner child on a date night in a fancy restaurant and pampered her with all the love God have been given. I did everything contrary to what a no-income person would do.
We can all give ourselves a little break. We deserve love, especially in difficult times.
3. Allow the Divine to use us as the pathway of love
As I felt love for myself, my heart opened to love others. As I faced my own fear, I felt compassion for other people’s lives. I blessed every life that came across my sight.
I blessed a woman who works in the ticket collector booth at the parking lot. It was small, hot, and humid. I felt compassion that she had to work in these conditions every day, doing the same things over and over which didn’t provide much. My tears were very near dropping. I asked God to bless her life.
I did the same thing to every human being I crossed by, the homeless, the police, the taxi drivers, and so on, even the poor sick dogs, flowers, and trees without expectation.
I asked God to love them even though I knew God loved everyone unconditionally and equally. A tremendous love flew through me, I cried out of joy so many times in a day.
The more we give, the more we receive. Whatever how much we struggle, we all have love to give. The love we give away comes from the Divine flowing through our hearts, healing deep wounds, and spreading out unlimited.
4. Learn how to receive
Often we fail to be grateful for what we are blessed with because we focus too much on making money, satisfying our ego, or becoming famous.
We forget what actually the real value of that money brought us. Money could not feed the hunger directly, it needs to be used as a tool to buy food so we can eat. Money is just a tool for manifesting other real things that we need.
When we lose this connection to what money actually is, we fail to recognize what we have been receiving.
When you look closely, it all comes down to two things we need: Love and Security.
We can buy a home with money. A home provides security.
Money can be given as a gift, and it will make your heart filled with love.
God has provided us, directly and indirectly, love and security through unlimited forms as long as we can recognize them. If they could be estimated the same way as money, you would find yourself as one of the millionaires.
What is your motivation behind the work?
The motivation behind the work is more important than the work itself. The down point of my life helped me reflect on my life motivation.
When I was working so hard with fear as motivation, I faced so many obstacles, money came but never was easy.
When I let go of fear and allow love to flow through me, I made even more money effortlessly. That answered how someone’s life was so easy and fulfilling and why some people struggle.
If you have been working so hard, but life has not been fruitful for you, you might probably ignore or neglect the motivation behind the hard work. It might be that you are working hard but not serving love; instead, you may serve fear, the fear of hunger, the fear of the future. You may work to compete with others or fill the void of not being good enough.
The purpose of telling you this story is not for you to quit your job as I did and start to expect that money comes from the sky, even though I am sure God does provide.
I personally believe that it needs the right balance between physical work and spiritual work for the fruit to be fruitful. What I encourage you is to live yourself alight with love, love your job, love your customers, love your boss, love your life, love the haters, love yourself, listen to your heart, and do what you love right here and right now.
Every time we alight with God’s love, our life is fulfilled with the love and security we need in some way or another. Trust that God has a plan for you.
God bless you.
