The Right Path

"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous" - Albert Einstein

God has His ways,

Of knowing what’s right.

The places we should be,

The people we should meet,

The lessons we need to learn.

 

The path has hurts

We fall down sometimes

Get bumps and scars

But God is always there

To help us back on our feet again.

 

The path has joys

Times of laugher, smiles and fun

Memories we think of and smile

Times to thank God

For all our blessings in life.

 

The path has many forks in it

And we may not always choice the right one

So we take a detour

Back to the right choice

With God guiding the path before us.

 

And when we miss an opportunity

For whatever reason

God works His ways

To give you a second chance

To take that opportunity.

 

The path may have many detours

May seem to go in circles at times

May get rewritten many times

And when we slow down to enjoy the views

We’ll see each step had a reason.

 

Cause only God knows our true destination

And He knows what’s truly right

So know there’s good in everything

No matter how hard that might be

Cause we’re all on God’s path.

Author's Note

I grow-up in a very religious home and family and still maintain that part of my life today. As part of that life I believe in fate and destiny and that God has a plan for each of us.

I love the Einstein quote you used!
This is written so thoughtfully and lovingly that I cannot help but be moved. There are so many lines in this that are beautifully expressed and with which I agree.

"And when we miss an opportunity
For whatever reason
God works His ways
To give you a second chance
To take that opportunity."
- I have found this to be true myself - it takes a lot of pressure off us doesn't it? :)

. this is a beautifully earnest piece of writing ... i also feel that God helps those who help themselves ... i think that if we lead an honest life and work hard, God and the universe will bless us ... i have this faith in the universe ... it's good to read your words of faith ... faith also prevents us from being bitter and cynical about things that don't go our way ... thank you for this lovely post ... you are very wise ...
