Maybe It Wasn’t “It”… But It Was a Sign That “It” Exists 💫

By Vera M| Boldly Becoming Blog

Have you ever thought you had finally received the promise—only for it to turn out to be something else?

Maybe it was a relationship that looked like the one. Maybe it was an opportunity, a friendship, a message from someone that made your heart skip a beat, a potential door swinging wide open—only for it to slam shut. And in that moment, it felt like the universe or God was playing a cruel joke.

But what if… it wasn’t a joke?

What if what you experienced was a sign—not of deception, but of confirmation?

Your Expectations Are Not Wrong—They’re A Sign of What’s Coming

There’s a verse that says, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Luke 6:45)

Another one says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7)

These scriptures remind us that what’s inside us creates the world around us. Your inner beliefs, your thoughts, your heart posture—they all shape your perception and your experience. So when something shows up that looks like your prayer answered—but doesn’t quite land—it doesn’t always mean you were wrong to hope. Maybe it means you’re close.

We Lose the War in the Mind First

The enemy often attacks first in the mind: doubt, fear, comparison, despair. One of his favorite tricks? Making you believe you're wrong for desiring what you desire.

But no—you’re not crazy for hoping, for dreaming, for preparing yourself. The “almost” version that came was a preview, a prophetic trailer, a signpost.

Yes, maybe it wasn’t what you thought—but it showed you something important:

✨ That level exists.

✨ That quality of love exists.

✨ That lifestyle you’re drawn to exists.

✨ That answered prayer is not a fantasy—it’s on the way.

Perception Shapes Reality

If you perceive everything that doesn’t work out as a failure, you’ll stay bitter. But if you see every closed door as redirection, you will remain powerful, soft, and ready when the real thing arrives.

It’s not just about what happens to you—it’s about how you see it.

Your perspective is your prophecy.

I Choose to Believe That It’s On Its Way

I choose to believe that what felt like “it” but wasn’t… was still a gift.

I choose to believe it was evidence that I’m on the right track.

I choose to believe it was a mirror of my healing and confirmation of my alignment.

I choose to believe I’m attracting higher, because I’ve been becoming higher.

I choose to keep preparing, keep hoping, and keep expecting—because the real version is not just coming... it's close.

Final Thoughts: Hold the Vision

If you’ve been discouraged by “almost” answers or delayed promises, you’re not alone. But please don’t give up. What you’re seeing is proof that you’re getting closer, not further.

Hold the vision. Fix your mind. Speak truth out loud. Keep your heart soft.

Your promise is not just real—it’s already making its way to you. 💌
