Thank you Pastor Tosin for this beautiful insight and yes God is indeed a connector.
ReplyDeleteHe intentionally brings people into our lives for a reason and can give us favour in the hearts of others so that His purposes can be fulfilled through those relationships.
Our relationships are not always by chance. The friendships we form, the people we meet, and the partnerships we build can all be part of God’s plan for our lives.
God connects people according to His purpose, will, and assignment. Sometimes, a relationship may be more significant than we initially realise because God may have something greater He wants to accomplish through that connection, my prayer is that He connects me, my family and loved one to the right people, Amen.
When God puts us in someone’s heart, He can give us favour, goodwill, and opportunities that we could not create by our own efforts.
