SPONTANEOUS THOUGHTS

I know everyone can relate when I ask if you know what it’s like to think of someone you haven’t heard of in a very long time, like just a sudden thought of that person.

It could be anyone you once had some interaction with, a school friend, a friend’s friend, someone from your childhood, anyone.

I get it a lot, and I never knew why I would think of someone so “randomly“.

It would happen so randomly while I’m busy preparing dinner, or doing house chores, then BOOM! I would think of someone I haven’t had any contact with in a long time. And then when it happened, I would ask myself, why am I thinking of this person, like so out of the blue, and I would just shrug it off and continue with whatever I was doing before.

I’m sure you can also relate when I say that when you hear something good or bad has happened to someone you’ve lost contact with, you will say, oh my gosh! I thought of that person just the other day!

So my question is…

Do you think it just happens randomly, coincidentally?

Well, let me tell you, nothing in life happens “coincidentally”, every single thing is carefully planned by our Creator.

That sudden, spontaneous thought, is not just that, it has been carefully planned by God, so that you can pray for that person. God laid that person on your heart, because that person needs prayer.

I learned this only a few years ago, after I started having a relationship with God, before then, I never knew anything about it. Whenever I have a spontaneous thought of someone, I will ask God, what He wants me to do besides praying for that person, and sometimes God tells me to actually reach out to that person.

It just so happened again yesterday. I woke up, thought of someone (this is someone I have regular contact with) and I knew I had to pray, but then God also told me to share a Word with them. I did that, and I kid you not, this person then told me that my message to them was just confirmation of what they are going through at the moment, and I immediately got goosebumps, knowing that if I had not been obedient to God, then that person would not get the confirmation they needed.

That to me was once again confirmation that those spontaneous thoughts, are not just spontaneous thoughts, but it’s God’s way of reminding us to pray for others.

I would really like to urge you, whoever you are, that when you have a spontaneous thought of someone, just go down on your knees and pray for that person, and when you have the urge to contact the person, then do so, don’t delay it.

We never know what others are going through, and we never know how much you reaching out means to the next person.
