If You Truly Want Peace, It’s Time to Prove It

There are forces at work that we can’t see.

Some things happen for a bigger reason, and not one we’re privy to. Years ago, I applied for a public relations part-time job. I wasn’t especially qualified for the position—a fact that, contrary to interview etiquette, I pointed out to my prospective employer.

But from the minute I walked into the interview, I knew I had the job. There was some unseen force involved. It didn’t make any logical sense, but I knew I could have totally bombed in the interview, and I still would have gotten the position. As it turned out, I ended up working with a very unhappy man, and I left a year later. But I’m still friends with people I met during those few months. Maybe the company needed my quality of energy. Maybe I needed theirs. Maybe the reason I was there had nothing to do with the job itself.

So, when Donald Trump boasted that he could have stood in the middle of 5^th Avenue and shot someone, and he wouldn’t have lost any votes, I believe he was right. There’s a reason he’s in this position, and not just because he got more than 270 electoral votes.

We may not have the bigger picture, but we can still trust that everything—ultimately—has a purpose and is working for good.
