For now I am one in many billions. 

Many billions have preceded me, and many more billions are surely to follow.

Should I be singled out?  Not for any reason.  But I have been.

Should every one of our billions on this earth be singled out?  Yes!  Just like me, all have been, EVERY SINGLE ONE.http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/4/3/2/7/ar131962174272345.jpg

Some things that happen in our lives are very sacred.

I think sacred things can be shared for the benefit of others.  Some VERY sacred things are just that, very sacred, and therefore very personal.

But things can happen.  Experience-changing things.  Life-changing things.  Things that change how we see ourselves, others and our place in, what shall we call it, is the cosmos a good word? 

And when these experiences come our way, we decide - is this very personal, very sacred thing, something to share?  Or maybe share just a part?

Let's call it a realization.

I wish we all could realize that we are, every one of us, each one of the billions who have lived, are living now and will yet live - WE ARE all children of the same Father.

And as children, we are cared for.  Even through the bad stuff.  And the really bad stuff.  We are cared for.  And it is all for our experience and ALL for our good.

Yes, that sounds counter intuitive.  But it is not.

ALL that we experience is for our good.

And Father, like any interested, caring, loving Father, is very interested in our lives, as a family group and as individuals.

And my realization is that He is personally, very personally, involved with my life, with everyone's life, every day.  Every day!  And that said, perhaps hundreds of times EVERY DAY!

So the next time you are feeling particularly alone in the universe, one in billions, ask the question -

Father, are you there? 

And you too might feel, or see, or experience that He is.

But ask sincerely, with real faith, and you too can experience the truth of that statement, and indeed, the truth of all things.

Yes, He is always with us and if we just get still and LISTEN for a moment, we always know the right thing to do. God is great!

Hi Jay,

Very insightful post. Good info to be shared by all. Being singled out? No, we know what we have done.

Good post.

Best, Clint McKie

Jay, you have said a mouthful here. We are one of billions, however we are one in a billion, aren't we? And that is a miracle indeed!

Jay,

Although my faith is constantly challenged, I do believe that there is a guiding hand in our lives.

Sally and David - we don't believe them when we see them, instead we see them when we believe them.

Diane - I am not speaking about some ethereal presence, but real hands-on care.  But yes, He is!

Clint - I believe we are all individually singled out, every day, perhaps hundreds of times each day, and have fatherly things done for us.  I truly do.

It is Andrea.  Isn't that why diamonds are more expensive than oranges?  A wonderful book succeeded "The Greatest Salesman In The World," by Og Mandino.  It was called "The Greatest Miracle In The World."

Do you know what that great miracle is?

Thanks Lisa.  I tried to express myself without completely expressing myself!

Richard - I agree, but think it is much more than that, much more hands on.  We see it when we believe it.

Thanks James.  I have been an active church goer since childhood.  This was not some sudden rebirth for me though.
