A COINCIDENCE IS NOT JUST A COINCIDENCE

Coincidences happen to us all, on occasion, where we are left to exclaim, "Wow, what are the odds of that happening to me, and at this particular time and in this particular place?"  We end up just shrugging in amazement usually and leaving it at that. 

Sometimes, though, we attribute them to divine grace, to God looking after us, inspiring in us a renewed faith, possibly, in whatever our religion might be. 

But do we truly grasp the importance of what has happened to us, however we choose to explain it to ourselves?

If we accept coincidences as just a fluke, fine.  If, on the other hand, we are able to see from some distance, from perhaps years, that there is a pattern to how things have happened to us, to how, like a prevailing wind pushing a sailboat along a certain course, we have been directed toward a particular destination, a specific destiny, then we will have what may be the correct view.

Which is what?  That coincidences are not just coincidences, that there is something significant going on here.
