” God made the world for the delight of human beings – if we could see HIS goodness everywhere, HIS concern for us, HIS awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things HE does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice HIS love for us, we just begin to fall in love with HIM because HE is so busy with us – you just can’t resist HIM. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s GOD’S love.” – Mother Teresa.
I was so pleased to find this quote by Mother Teresa as this is exactly as I feel.
My experience with God has been everywhere, with all the things I have seen, with a grateful heart, with hope, with faith, and with all the wonderful blessings that God has shown me, given me, taken me too see, and the list goes on and on.

I don’t see these blessings as ‘luck’, because luck is a lie, if I get on my bike and go for a ride on my bike and I see someone that I need to see or someone who needs to see me then, I do, and it is no coincidence. God knows that this is important to me, and that I need this. Or even that the other person needs to see me. Maybe God is trying to tell this other person to go and see James and ask him something. Whatever the reasons, whatever the need, and whatever God’s plans are for us, the cause is God, not coincidence, not luck.
If the coincidence will lead to bad like alcohol or drug abuse or the company of bad people then that is the guidance of evil. We do get to choose. If we choose wrong then we really are foolish to complain when we deliberately walked into it.
Believe this and look into nature and the simple things of life and you will see the joy that many of us know called God. God is everywhere in everything. There is a reason for everything – and if a coincidence keeps coming your way, then do something about it because God is trying to show you the way, trying to tell you something good.
When a blessing comes my way I say either out loud or in my mind, “Thank you God!”
I see God everywhere in everything. I feel for God’s pain in this lost world. I feel for the people lost in this world. I cry when I read or see something sad, I do this because I know that there is more to life than what I was previously told. I see God’s work in the amazing works of the world. God is so good, so gracious, and so much needed today. And I know with all my heart and soul that I need God very much today and in the future.

The greatest gift I could possibly hope to give you is the knowledge that God is there and working in your life today and taking you somewhere, somewhere amazing, where dreams will be answered, the past forgotten, the suffering gone, the tears wiped away, and a hug like you have never felt before because you will be protected and held in the precious arms of forgiveness and love.
Follow God always!
All the best and lots of love from
