The right Reverend, Jack Houston, was giving his Sunday sermon on coincidences.
He started with this rather bold, and forthright, statement:
"There are no coincidences."
and then he went on from there, like this:
"Like dreams, there (coincidences) underlying connectors of connection can be interpreted, and connected to again, pieced together again, to obtain meaning."
"Every coincidence then, has meaning behind it. We just need to find it."
"'Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.'"
"Albert Einstein, the renowned physicist, said this one."
'"Every single moment is a coincidence."'
"and Douglas Coupland, a Canadian writer, said that one."
"Maybe, this is why we can never know God, as he is anonymously missing within every experience, and coincidence, and yet his name is always written there in every experience, and coincidence too, that we will ever go through, if we can only just recognise his signature, which is always there for us to see, as a part, always a part, of all that is."
"We cannot ever know God (fully) then, but he always (fully) knows us."
"Love lives from God, according to a worded plan, and yet it also exudes from him unannounced too, when we draw it to ourselves."
"Between the plan, and the exuded capture of love, incidences bring this about, which are experiences, or coincidences, in your mind, if you are still lacking in seeing this connection."
"The wise man looks for connection in all things, but the greater man of real wisdom finds them."
"Try to be that man of greater wisdom, and then you will see God behind every wise way, thought, and action too."
"God is truth, but his love lives wisely always from that truth, as wisdomed loving too."
"Every hole in your mountain is never a coincidence, but is there to help you to see past your mountain too."
"Alright,"
he then said.
"That's my lot, for today."

Try looking through every hole, or problem, or coincidence, or dream, or through any life experience at all, in your life, and you will always see God, on the other side of it too, and that is no coincidence, but a living truth, of God.

Yes, and that is no coincidence.
God is always faithful and true to us, so we should try to be always faithful and true to him too.

From my own experiences, I have met the right person who made a difference in my life when it really mattered.
Maybe, it was God making his presence felt through another human. Had I not met a kindly person, things could have gone awry.
If we try hard, happy coincidences happen.
'Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous." is right on the money.
Einstein has made such profound statements and that shows he was more than a scientist

Yes, Einstein was a deep thinker about many things, and I am sure that he thought deeply about God, and the possibility of an afterlife too.
Yes, if we do our best, God takes care of the rest, as the old saying goes too.

@Shiva49 "Love is a better teacher than duty." Einstein.
Einstein also knew that the best leaders lead from love, with love, as did Gandhi too.
Peace is an attribute of love too.
The President of Ukraine, might just turn out to be such a leader; some of his talks, and actions, have been inspirational, heartfelt, and full of real leadership qualities too.

@innertalks I have read that Einstein had sort of divine inspiration and then worked to prove and explain them later.
Einstein had said about Gandhi:
"I believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men of our time." also,
"Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth"
We need another Gandhi to lift us out of the present morass.
Yes, we need to do our very best than implore God to clear the mess we have created wilfully.
