Synchronicities… Messages from God!
I know many will not even read this post because of the title. Others will dismiss me as “crazy” or “overdramatic.” But if I can help even one person with my message, it will not be in vain.
One day, when I was in my twenties, when I was in my librarian job at Columbia University, I was cataloging an art book and my scalp felt prickly… even painful. I was doing “readings” then. These consisted of opening a book at random to find meaning for whatever I was experiencing or perplexed about. So I went into the reference room and pulled down an encyclopedia to see what It would say. I opened the book to a random page and pointed my finger to a word with eyes closed. When I opened my eyes, I found a small dictionary-like image… a picture of Christ with His crown of thorns. Right away I knew it was a message from God. I knew God was with me. This happened 50 years ago but I never forgot it. Now it sends me the message that God is always there even when it seems we are all alone. I will never forget this. It fortifies me today. It was not to be dismissed as the ravings of a crazy person as I said. I am quite sane today, on meds for forty years and married to a psychiatric social worker. He would be the first to see the signs.
God speaks to us in quiet ways. Silence, contemplation, meditation connect us to God. As Yogananda says ” God is shy.” We have to look for him, seek Him. He is always ready for us, waiting for us to come to Him. He is always there for us. He awaits our attention. He wants our love. He will not leave us alone in our predicaments of life. He is always there for each and every one of us. God dwells within us in our souls. Next time you feel alone and abandoned by all, perhaps think of this story. One of billions upon trillions.
Truly beautiful and resonating, Ellen. My kind of thing. Assuredly, we are never alone! Thank you for this powerful message. Light and blessings to you, dear friend! 🙏✨💖🌻🌈

I enjoyed reading this story, and I believe you were correct 50 years ago. You are still correct.

I’m so happy that experience stayed with you. Good things that happen to us, enlightening things, seem to that. They change the way we see everything.

Synchronicity is a lovely way to let us in on the secret of being known and cared for.

This is a fascinating story, Ellen. It gives me hope that there is a greater meaning to our lives and a larger power, urging us on to discover it. By the way, the title of this post is what intrigued me as soon as I saw it, in my notifications. 💛

Julie, you’re so kind to tell me the title attracted you. Thank you. Oh, yes, Julie, do have hope. There most certainly IS a larger power routing for us to discover I’ll say Him but it is personal as to what you want to call “Him.” Do have hope, Julie. I despair at times but then I remember stories in my life like this. This one is my strongest example of why we are not left all alone on our own. Thank you, as always, Julie, for your thoughtful comment. 💖🙏🏽

I’m so glad that we’ve both had signs, that let us know we aren’t alone on this earth and I hope we continue to have these special experiences until we leave it. ❤️
