Coincidence - God - Life - Fate - Death - Who really controls it?

I have written before about a friend that gives coincidence credit for all the blessing in his life instead of God.  I guess he gives credit to coincidence rather than God because he is not totally convinced God is involved in our daily lives.

"What if coincidence is just God's way of remaining anonymous?" Donna Tartt

My faith has never allowed me to believe in coincidence. I credit all blessings ultimately to God and the ability He gave me to think and make right choices. That does not mean I have to give credit to all problems in my life to God because as I said I have free will to make choices.

I can choose to allow frustration, impatiens, doubt, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness and greed in my life and I can choose to turn to God when it creeps in and kick it out. I can choose to surround myself with negative thinking or positive thinking people. I can choose to waste time with gossipers and liars or not. I can choose to be loyal, helpful, charitable, truthful or not. SO CAN YOU!

Life is short. Fate can be cruel, but it is not random. You can wallow in it or pick yourself up and move forward. Death will always win, but that does not mean the in between birth and death cannot be exciting and rewarding and if you are a believer in God's promises eternal life is fantastic!
