To be Born is to be Chosen taken from Anam Cara by John O Donohue

“To be born is to be chosen. No-one is here by accident.

Often the deeper meaning of a fact emerges when it is read in a spiritual way. When you consider the moment of conception, there are endless possibilities. Yet in most cases, only one child is conceived.

This seems to suggest that a certain selectivity is already at work. This selectivity intimates a sheltering providence which dreamed you, created you and always minds you.

Imagine the difference it would have made to your life had you been born into the house next door. To discover and enjoy the rest of the reflection please follow the link here.
