"For it is said in the book of love; Difficulty is the fate of those beloved".
God does not want results. The Lord has not deserted you. He watches your struggles, commands His angels to witness the reason man was created. There's beauty in your struggle as well as relief in your ease. He assured you not once, but twice that with difficulty follows ease and commands you to keep your faith tethered to Him.
If God wanted results, He'd allow charity through unjust means and faith to be counted on basis of action and not intention. But what is a creator who knows not of what his creation counts within? It is Man's struggle that puts him on the peak of all creation. It is why prophets where chosen from us. It is why we're considered capable of receiving his guidance. He said:
"whose efforts in this world are misguided, even when they think they are doing good work?".
Khaaki is resilient. We may be broken quite easily as we are made weak. But through our beliefs are we built again stronger.
