“There are no coincidences in the universe.
I have heard the crying of your heart. I have seen the searching of your soul. I know how deeply you have desired Truth. In pain have you called out for it, and in joy. Unendingly have you beseeched Me. Show Myself. Explain Myself. Reveal Myself.
…. Let Me explain something to you. You have this idea that God shows up in only one way in life. That’s a very dangerous idea.
It stops you from seeing God all over. If you think God looks only one way or sounds only one way or is only one way, you’re going to look right past Me night and day. You’ll spend your whole life looking for God and not finding Her. Because you’re looking for a Him, I use that as an example.
It has been said that if you don’t see God in the profane and the profound, you’re missing half the story. That is a great truth.
God is in the sadness and the laughter, in the bitter and the sweet. There is a divine purpose behind everything- and therefore a divine presence in everything.”
~Conversations with God: an uncommon dialogue; by Neale Donald Walsch.
