The Luck of the Irish, The Luck of the Draw, Dumb Luck, Lucky Duck....All these are various ways to describe what we call fortunate coincidence. We have as many labels for bad coincidence. All of which seem to say that our life is nothing but a shambling existence that bounces us around like a pinball in a pinball game, randomly, inexplicably, blindly.
That is a load of crap! To buy into that mind set also sells yourself as a puppet manipulated by "Fate" or worse just a random occurrence yourself...eeking out a pitiful and meaningless existence. Ugh! What a tepid and miserable way to look at yourself, I am nothing and less than that, I am inconsequential. Then what is the purpose of your ability to think, to feel...to dream?
You are not a random occurrence nor are you in a world of random occurrences. You are SPECIAL and UNIQUE! The only YOU in this special and unique world. And everything...EVERYTHING that happens to you is meant for a reason! For your growth, for your insight...even at times to tempt you to failure. Everyone you meet, everything that is said to you or done to you has meaning. The most evil and sadistic things have relevance, the most unfortunate and tragic things are meant to be. And that is off putting to many of you, but understand...the worst things in life at times bring out the best of us. For the Lepers there was Mother Theresa, for the downtrodden there was Gandhi and MLK and Caesar Chavez, for a lost and dying world there was Christ.
Look for the connection, search for the meaning...many times to find it you may have to look past your own blinders...see out to the daisy chain that is you and me and the world and every moment in time locked together for a purpose. It may take you a minute or a lifetime to see it but you will see signs of it. Those will be the times when you call what happens a Coincidence.
"One of the most amazing revelations of God comes when we learn that it is in the commonplace things that the deity of Jesus Christ is revealed" Oswald Chambers
