everything happens for a reason

"everything happens for a reason..." every1 seems to say n adhere to this... i for one do too... but only cos i believe in a higher power. not an impersonal power like Gaia... but a personal, intimately involved God - Jesus Christ.

old frens getting in contact after so long, me coming online to find 'breakthru conversations', me taking a certain route to bump into someone... everything happens for a reason...

having said dat, then, it seems only proper to ask, "what is the reason?"

is it a chance to b a blessing? to stretch out a hand to help or b helped... an opportunity to know for growth? a lesson in character building or is it gonna b a degeneration of sorts? an increase in understanding of who God is, who He has made me to be?

i m not proposing a fatalistic viewpoint where everything is set already... rather, i m saying, uncovering dat "reason" is like opening a bow-tied present, a wonderful surprise prepared by a loving God, not 'out to get you', but for you to discover His wonderful plan, His wonderful purposes... n in dat, lies a choice for you.

for me... i m still learning... dere's much to learn... there's so much i dun get n dun understand... Lord, help me.
