The Voodoo Man Who Told Me About GOD and His Blessings

True story... One day, while visiting family members who believe and practice vodou, I bumped into a Voodoo man who told me about God and how he blesses people. I couldn't believe what I heard... Here's what he said...

The voodoo man says...

"When a Haitian man from the country side of Haiti prays to God, all he ask for is... for God to make it rain... just a little bit... so his crops so can grow... not too much... paske li pa vle la rivie desann...

The only way he will feel blessed is if it rains...

Just a little bit...

That's all the blessing he expects... That's the only blessing he will understand.

God could shower this man with every other gift known to man, gifts bigger than the rain, his "manmam cochon" can give birth to 50 babies, and still he would not feel blessed because... a little bit of rain is all he excepts..."

"Whatever your expectation, " The voodoo man says, "is how you will be blessed.

God cannot give you the things that you are NOT expecting. God cannot show you greatness you are to blind to see or too shallow to appreciate.

If you expect small things, your blessings will be small.

If you expect big things, you blessings will be big.

It is not God's fault how much you receive, he can only give you what you expect."

Shocking!

I did not expect to hear this at a vodou ceremony from the mouth of a man possessed by a 'Lwa'

So now... you have two options...

You can ask me what the hell was I doing there, to which I will not reply, or you can focus on the words in this page.

I could've told you a preacher said it in church but I'd be lying...

Do you agree with the voodoo man?

Do you agree that, as Haitians, many times we except very little or worse... NOTHING!

We keep on praying for change (undefined/unspecific prayer) and we get NOTHING!

If the voodoo man is right, is God simply blessing us with our expectations?

Reply with your comments... Not about voodoo... about expectations...
