"God intervened"

One of the questions I don't fail to hear from people who ask about my past relationship is "why? what went wrong?". Of course, previous to that, they'd ask me if I have a boyfriend. And my answer is obviously "No, I don't". And question goes on...until you hear the "Oh, what happened? Why did you break up?". I found it difficult to answer before. But now, I have found a better way of answering "God intervened" :)

It's not a joke. And I don't think it's bad to say that He really intervened. Whenever I am in a relationship, I always pray for my partner, for our relationship. I do pray for the good of the relationship. When things go wrong, I do pray, too. The answers I got were hard and painful, but as time goes on, I understand. I always learn to accept the fate but at the same time, hopeful.

In our life, God intervened a number of times. It's not only about relationships, it could be in work, in the family, with friends.

I remember an incident way back in High School. I was on my way to school. I would just take a walk from our place to my school. After I reached the intersection of the road and turned to the main street, I heard a crash behind me. Finding out what it was, I saw a tricycle, turned up-side-down. The driver stood up, not hurt.

Looking at the situation, and trying to make a replay in slow motion, I missed or the tricyle missed me for 4-5 steps. What if I was not in a hurry for school? What if I walked relaxly? Did that hit me? I saw God's hands intervening in that scene. He made me walked faster, because if He didn't, I would have been hit by the tricycle.

God's way of intervening comes in different forms. They come as a situation that changes our decision, a comforting friend, a stranger's help, a sudden changed of weather, a missed ride...

I can tell you more stories of God's intervention, but that would mean I won't take lunch today, dinner tonight.. and you'd read this entry till monday morning :)

Anyway, what's your story? In what way did God intervened?

When things happen, try to listen and try to see beyond what your eyes can. You might see God's hands in action.

God's intervention...hmmm...hard to understand, hard to recognize because we have this tendency of just asking Him to give us this and that...However, when we learn to look and search for the reason/s why things happened, we will understand God's message for us.

I agree with you that God intervenes in everything. In my life, He is very present in my studies. In relationships (romantic relationships), I had this experience that when relationships fail, people would really ask questions like what your friends asked you...And even worse, some of them would criticize you when you say 'well.. he is not the guy God prepared for me'...
