When our free choice encourages us to act as if the recipient of our assistance could well be us, there is an awareness that in doing all that we can for a stranger in dire need of our help, we are providing for our own welfare. Not self serving, rather sharing, for we became the outreach of Our Father's support for a victim of life's misfortunes. There but for the Grace of God, go I.
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
~ William Shakespeare
The Biblical adage as you sow, so shall you reap teaches us that our practical investment into the lives of those who by happenschance enter our life, create a boomerang effect with opportune timing assisting us when we are in greatest need.
Wise sages inform us that coincidence, chance if you wish is merely God's way of remaining anonymous when asking us to become His helping hands. God’s providential arrangement of circumstances may well speak to us within our thoughts guiding us to intervene, when doing nothing would enable us to walk on by unwilling to be involved. The explorer of life's mysteries will always respond to those coincidences, as if they are road signs pointing us in the direction that we need to take, guiding us to where we should be going.
“Fate’ and ‘coincidence’ are the mythological derivatives authored by those who refuse to see a ‘greater purpose’, because such a conclusion would naturally suggest a ‘Greater Being’.”— Craig D. Lounsbrough
