Why do I keep running into this person?

Have you ever thought that about someone? You see them at a school function. You run into them at Walmart. You might even notice them at a traffic light.

Perhaps they have always been there, but for whatever reason, you have noticed their presence in your life repeatedly. Sometimes, their name will pop up in conversations. Their social media appears on your feed every time you look.

What if these experiences were not random coincidences but rather small acts of providence to connect you to someone else? What if God, in his sovereignty, is using you to reach them with the message of his grace? What if you are the perfect person to minister to this person in the name of Jesus? What if you saw them as part of God’s plan for your life?

I believe God continually allows our lives to intersect with people to help us fulfill his purpose in the world. And maybe that person you are noticing is God trying to use you for his glory.
