Holy coincidences
Over the past couple of days, I have experienced holy coincidences, otherwise known as Gods hand. He takes all the details, pieces them together for my tiny mind to connect the dots, so that I might catch a glimpse at a minuscule central section to the blueprint of life you and I are currently living. I stumble and fall into and onto the truth and today, a million pilled high pink soft rose petals cushioned my descent as his glory was revealed through the gospel of John.
He knows before we do
Jesus knew. He knows. He sees each of us not only as we are, but as we will be. The extenuating circumstances that hold us in a pattern of “here”, he gracefully accepts. He knowingly sees past our current state of innocent ineptitude to who we will become. Thus prevenient grace is the gift he gives in the present with an understanding we will not be staying where we are, we will move from “glory to glory”. “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Think of it dear reader, the great unveiling, of you! How magnificent, to know that as we seek for and glean truth, it is revealed to us. The shroud is lifted and we not only see Gods glory but it transforms us into his likeness, ever increasing! What? This is an amazing promise from the God who created the universe and each and every creature in it.
Cutting to the chase
I am going to cut to the chase and give you the skinny on what I am writing about. You can than take what you are reading and consider for yourself, if God knew and knows you, then, now and yet to be. Here are some crazy conversions that stand out as astounding. Brief biographies that I admit are completely inadequate and huge hints to you, dear reader, to take note and do your own research if you know, if you have an inkling, that God is not done with you yet.
Brief inadequate biographies
*Saul… a Christian hunter and killer, becomes Paul, a proponent willing to die for Christ
*John Newton… responsible for the enslavement and death of thousands of men, women and children, becomes an Anglican clergyman and writes the song Amazing Grace
*Simon… abandons and denies Christ the night of his arrest, is called Peter, “and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18)
*You… now dear reader, it is your turn… this is about you, and God. Who you are now and who he designed you to be, the rest of his story, or your very own history in the making? Prevenient Grace. He is filling you in dear one, it is only just, a matter of time.
