Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me…
— Psalms 23:4

Nothing happens by chance…

Sorry! Right Number!

One of my life principles is “Nothing happens by chance”. Even if something seems like a coincidence, we say it happened for a reason. When we experience an answer to prayer, we don’t say it was just good luck, we say it was because of the Law of Cause & Effect. So, whatever happens to us, we have consciously or unconsciously created it.

Recently, I experienced such a profound example of this Divine Synchronicity, that I was totally flooded with gratitude. I’ve always praised my telephone answer machine, because it keeps me in touch with all the souls I love, even when I’m not there physically. Since I travel so much these days, one of my passions is to record big time blessings on my machine. Telemarketers have called me & told me when they get frazzled, they call my number just to listen to the outgoing message! When I get one of these calls, I say silently to myself, “Thank You, God!”

Then one day, I got the following message on my machine, & I truly “knew” God is guiding our feet into the way of peace.

A young woman’s frail voice said very haltingly, ” Uh, well, hello. I guess I got the wrong number, so I’m sorry to call you. But, uh, just what I heard on your machine made me wonderful & still wonderful, ‘cause I was feeling like killing myself, uh, & I was so sad. So I thank you for that. You have blessed my life!”

AFFIRMATION
Dear God. Today I offer myself to Thee so utterly that when I meet another person along the way, that person sees only You in my eyes, feels only You in my heart, & hears only You in my words. Thank you God!
