Divine Providence

I read some of an atheist article about “coincidences” and how things just fell together as luck and that there was no planning involved whatsoever. Great thoughts, but completely wrong. The only way that a person can understand this is for it to happen in their own life over and over again. So called “Coincidences” happen to me often, daily, and always to do with meeting people or bumping into them often.
My feelings are that God wants them to keep me in mind and to look at my Facebook page. Maybe God needs them to read something posted that day or something that will be posted soon. Coming across people all the time can be very frustrating though. But just imagine it. You are God, peaceful and loving, not wanting to hurt anyone, you see a atheist or church goer about to have a horrific experience in the near future because of the path that he or she is on, so you send them to a local person repetitively so that he or she will read some advice on Facebook or talk to that person and they will tell them something that will help them, and that will just nudge them into thinking about their current life-path and then they change something in their life and the horrific incident doesn’t happen.
Jesus talked about the vine bearing fruit etc. The fruit for a believer is souls, not money, not wealth or material gain, or being famous, not a church or congregation. The souls are given to that person because this is a person who God can completely trust and who will share what God tells them to share that will be specially intended for that individual. And of course if they post the right things then people are helped, comforted, healed, and “saved”, especially from themselves and the pointless destructive atheist/materialistic path that they were on.

If a person were to try to explain this to an non-believer then he or she would have great trouble trying to make them believe that The Living God is Spiritually here and that God is trying to help them, get their attention and to believe in God.
Probably the initial reaction would be that the person who they keep seeing is causing the “coincidences” and “chance meetings” and that this person could be a stalker or up to no good etc. And this is due to immersion into the false doctrines of materialism that focus on only the physical and physical results mostly based on the 5 senses. They often refuse to believe that we have any other senses, especially spiritual senses, gut feelings, intuition, discernment, instincts, and especially any form of Divine Guidance etc.
People see what they believe in, they see what they want to see, and because of this their minds are closed and they become lost in their own spiritual blindness.

In theology, divine providence, or just providence, is God’s intervention in the world. The term “Divine Providence” (usually capitalized) is also used as a title of God. A distinction is usually made between “general providence”, which refers to God’s continuous upholding the existence and natural order of the Universe, and “special providence”, which refers to God’s extraordinary intervention in the life of people.
Miracles generally fall in the latter category.
