A CHILDHOOD FRIEND REMARKED ON FB THIS PAST THURS: "my wife she doesn't believe in coincidences. very interesting and something I never thought of. I always looked at certain things as "just because."
THAT STATMENT SURPRISINGLY DREW A LOT OF COMMENTS.
MY FIRST COMMENT TO THIS WAS: “I totally agree with your wife. I believe there is a reason behind all things - lessons to be learned.”
I GUESS MY ANSWER WAS A LAME ATTEMPT TO NOT SOUND "PREACHY" OR NOT TO OFFEND. BUT WHY? WHAT WAS I AFRAID OF? I LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART; SO WHY DIDN'T I STATE THE OBVIOUS?
THEN ANOTHER FRIEND OF HIS COMMENTED: “I believe that God has a plan for every little step in our lives, nothing happens by coincidence..it's in the plan man”
DRAT! THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY RESPONSE. CLEAR AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.
THEN ONE COMMENT THAT REALLY STOOD OUT FOR ME: Synchronicity is the name of the thing.
WHAT?!? WHY DID THIS COMMENT SLAP ME IN THE FACE? BECAUSE I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE GODLY COMMENT, AND DISAPPOINTED WITH MINE, I REVISITED THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT AND INCLUDED A MORE ACCURATE COMMENT OF WHAT I BELIEVE: Synchronicity? "the RELATION that exists when things occur at the same time" I prefer my RELATIONship with Jesus; and that it's all been planned out for me - even before I was born.
WHICH DREW BACK THE COMMENTER THAT STATED SYNCRONICITY THAT SAID: I prefer my relationship with reality.
REALITY! WHAT!?
JESUS IS MY REALITY.
AND THEN I THOUGHT – "HOW SAD TO MISS OUT ON SPENDING ETERNITY WITH GOD."
SO WHAT'S YOUR REALITY?
