(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); One day I happened to call a man on business whom I will probably never talk to again, but this day God wanted me to talk to him.
He was head of security at a company that had invited the remaining members of a company who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their office space. With his voice full of awe, he told me stories of why these people were alive and their counterparts were dead.

All the stories were just little things.

You might know about the head of the company who got in late that day because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning.
He took the various means to get to work, but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive.

So, Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me... I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things.

A Tiny Voice Inside

Have you ever been just sitting there and all of a sudden you feel like doing something nice for someone you care for...
THAT'S GOD... He talks to you through the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever been down and out and nobody seems to be around for you to talk to...
THAT'S GOD... He wants you to talk to Him.

Have you ever been thinking about somebody that you haven't seen in a long time and then next thing you know you see them or receive a phone call from them...
THAT'S GOD... there is no such thing as "coincidence."

Have you ever received something wonderful that you didn't even ask for, like money in the mail, a debt that had mysteriously been cleared, or a coupon to a department store where you had just seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford...
THAT'S GOD... He knows the desires of your heart...

Have you ever been in a situation and you had no clue how it is going to get better, but now you look back on it...
THAT'S GOD... He passes us through tribulation to see a brighter day...

I was thinking of You! Please pass this along and share the Power of God... In all that we do, we should totally give HIM thanks and our blessings will continue to multiply.
This was sent to me by a close friend and please pass it on to all of your good friends.

Keep this going for an eternity.

NOW THAT'S GOD!!

I am going to have to respectfully disagree.

In your first story, hypothetically, what if one guy was beating his wife and as a result was late for work. He missed the Twin Towers falling and his life is saved. Is that God? Should he now beat his wife even more because it is where God wanted him to be?

You list all these positive things and attribute them to God but what about all the negatives? Is it God that lets parents watch their children die young? Is it God that allows millions to be malnourished in the world? God I hope not.

Note: This post is not meant to attack any religion in anyway. I just disagree with the view OP has taken on the subjectHappy


i respect your opinion, what i believe is that people die, it is inevitable, if nobody died then there would be too many people, and i believe that god also is responsible for the deaths of those people, i strongly believe that where i am today, where you are and where everyone is, is exactly where God wants those people to be.

so anytime i get an annoying phone call or forget my keys and have to go back or do something i didnt plan, ill know that that is what God want me to do. to prevent my death. or lead to it.

Here is what my religion teacher told me,
"This is for some people who is confused about God not helping them when they are in bad situation,
God had already done so many things for us, he made the world for us, he created people, and for those who are wondering, "God, if you really are there, how come you don't save people from getting hurt?", that because God gave us freedom, he had the choice to make everyone behave like good people or misbehaving people, but he decided to give us our freedom, you only get one chance to live, so use it wisely, there is no instruction to life, you just gotta learn, even when you make mistakes, you will learn off that mistake, now it our turn to look after the Earth and each other" - Teacher
So you can't expect God to do everything you expect. Now, for those who doesn't believe in God, it all rite, just tell me, who do you think created the Earth? God really is there to help you if you are good and behaving well, he responded to my pray, everything is an illusion,
Ok, so let say, if I said to a milk carton "If I drink you, you will pay me $50" and let say the carton didn't answered, so I drink the milk carton, and here are 3 options
1)Tomorrow my money will arrive
2)In 1 month my money will arrive
3)My money won't arrive at all,
so basically that like the way life flows, you pray to God, asking him to help your mum or your dad if their sick, God will neither; Respond immediately, respond in 1 month, or never respond, life doesn't have to do with anything related to luck, it an illusion, if you don't get it, here a video I found,
[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk6ILZAaAMI]YouTube - The best optical illusion in the world![/ame]

Not my video
