"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing... As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." - John 15:5, 9-11 (NIV)
For Christ to work in and through us, we must abide in Him. Are we abiding in Him, delighting in Him?
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

On my way home from church, I noticed that the car in front of me (a BMW X Series no less) had the words 'Yeshua Ha'Mashiach' (Hebrew for 'Jesus the Messiah') printed on the number plate. While I've seen cars with Christian bumper stickers and even fish (Ichthys) decals before, it was the first time I saw something like this.
Incidentally, the message in church was on 'Knowing God's Name' - and as we know, the name of Jesus (Yeshua) means YHWH saves.
Not coincidence, but providence!
