I am constantly amazed, if not surprised, at what God does for each one who trusts in Him and follows His ways.
He both loves us entirely and completely, and is so interested in even the small things in our lives, even if the doubters think these may just be co-incidences happening.
That word, 'co-incidences', no longer exists for me, as I call them God incidences in my life and in the lives of others I know.
Indeed, He often goes before us and paves the way for good things to happen. Maybe you do this, but for years we have prayed that there'll be a car parking space near where we want to go, and they always turn up.

Just this week I welcomed new tenants to a flat we own. The existing tenant was about to leave, and I got an email from a friend asking, on behalf of another, if I had a flat for tenancy. They came to view it and it was just what they needed, yet I hadn’t begun to advertise in a bid to find a new tenant.
A few years back, in a shop my wife and I were owners of, we had a huge flood, caused by broken boiler in the flat above bursting and leaving us in some 30 inches of water. Fortunately, we were well insured, but had to decamp to another shop to enable ours to be fully dried out and redecorated.
That took more than seven months to achieve, and we lost thousands of items of water-damaged clothing, for which we received payment at what they cost us. Payment for these kept us going, while a number of other similar shops didn’t survive. It felt, but not at the time, that God had gone before us to help us out.
Whatever your background, or your level of belief, if you put your trust in God, His Son Jesus, and His Holy Spirit, I believe great things will happen in your life, and over time you will begin to trace God’s hand in much that you do and see happening.

The message to us is simple; if we will draw near to God, He will draw near to us. There is nothing too hard for Him and He wants to lavish His love on us in so many ways.
He will never fail or forsake us, and He is there to give is a much brighter future than we could have dreamed of. He is our Healer and He can be both in our today and all our tomorrows.
Put your trust in Him, for He cares for you.
