Godincidents

I heard a talk on "Godincidents" the other day and I thought it was worth sharing.   It is another way of saying "Nothing is a coincidence."   Put simply, there is nothing that happens or comes into my life that cannot be a grace to bring me closer to God and to help me on my journey to heaven.  All is grace, as Julian Norwich would write.

I have a hard time understanding how people can live without a foundational Faith that securely anchored to, will help them through the unexplainable problems that come their way.  I don't know how I would have been able to endure some things if I did not know and believe that God was with me and that everything can lead me to God, even the painful experiences.   To believe in "Godincidents" is to see that my life is filled with God's presence and that nothing, not even death itself, can separate me from the love of God each day.

I think it is good to think about the ways God invites me to further spiritual growth during Lent, and being more attuned to the Godincidents in my life is one way to answer God's invitation.  Sure, there are sometimes I forget to notice, but with a little practice, I will soon have formed a spiritual habit that is well worth keeping.

Have you experienced any Godincidents today?
