We consider ourselves important; yet we could not take our next breath, were it not for God…
It’s His atmosphere, and earth (terra firma) and His gravity that holds us on it. His sun, and solar system.
His molecules, food, water, and other creatures (companionship)..
If it weren’t for God (being); our minds would cease wondering, our hearts would stop pumping.. our being would not be!
If there was No God (being)--- then we couldn't ask 'Why am i here'?..nor ponder the answers or study the clues !
And unbelievable as it seems.. God is intimately interested in every single one of us...
Mat.10:29 (even hairs on head numbered)
[29] Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will.
[30] But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
[31] Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Luke.12:6 (sparrows noticed / hairs numbered)
[6] Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
[7] Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
[8]"And I tell you, every one who acknowledges me before men, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God;

We ask for signs and for God to talk to us… Look around pay attention…open wide the ports of all your senses...
This world is a cornucopia of sites, sounds and advice.. learn to discern!
Turn on a radio or tv and hear a voice meant for your ears with words that can inspire your soul… gather words from a conversation of people we pass in the street.. greet the eyes of a beggar.. converse with the individual standing beside you in a line.. send or receive a smile from someone sitting across the isle on the subway train.. listen to a loved one pour out their passions.. tell a friend your secrets and hear theirs.. visit a friend at a funeral home.. listen to the gospel and homily at Church that seems to speak directly to your heart…!... wonder why that ‘unexpected something’ happened to you at that ‘specific moment’… Angels surround us, as well as temptations… discern and decide!.. how do we know that every thought that pops into our head, truly originates within us.. did it come from within or externally.. Are we the prime author of our thoughts or are we ‘the director’ that chooses or reacts?…

We are the lead character in our own play or story.. and this story is titled ‘the destiny of your soul’…
We write this ‘life’s play’.. God is like the ‘Shakespeare’ who created all the characters and all the scenes and has placed all the props on our stage; but we write all our own lines and do our own stunts...
And our story is a microcosm of the story of humanity complete with struggles & trials, wants & desires, distractions and temptations....
